“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” — Goethe Advising the Nation. Improving Health.

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Acad- emy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding en- gineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineer- ing programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is presi- dent of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Insti- tute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci- ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Coun- cil is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council. www.national-academies.org

Preface In April 2009, as the committee was preparing to respond to reviewer input and finalize this report, a multi-country outbreak of a new influenza A(H1N1) virus was being reported. First detected as a cluster of cases of severe respiratory illness with multiple deaths in Mexico, a unique influenza A virus was isolated that was originally reported as having genes of swine, avian, and human origin and therefore it was immediately referred to as “swine flu.” Influenza A(H1N1) virus has since spread to 74 countries and, as of June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization declared it the first pandemic in more than 40 years. Although the virus is now circulating in humans, the presumed link with swine led to public confusion on how the virus was being spread, consequently leading to pork industry losses of approximately $28 million dollars per week and the banned importation of pigs and pork products by at least 15 countries. The specifics of when and how this virus emerged, in what populations, how long its circulation has gone undetected, and the identity of the source of exposure remain the focus of ongoing investigations. While it is not possible to fully analyze the progression and impact of events with the benefit of time and hindsight before completing the work on this report, this outbreak serves to illustrate many of the issues discussed in this report. The committee’s consensus report traces the need and existing capacity for global, sustained, integrated zoonotic disease surveillance and response capacity; discusses the current gaps, challenges, and inadequacies with ex- isting systems; and suggests new approaches to more effectively achieve the requirements of an “ideal” system. Looking forward with the benefit of past experience, including what we know about the current influenza A(H1N1) xi

xii PREFACE 2009 outbreak, we see a future of continued zoonotic disease agent emer- gences, perhaps at an even more rapid rate given the sheer increases in hu- man and animal populations, their encroachment on each other’s habitat, continuing changes in climate, the intensification and consolidation of agriculture, and the rapid movement of increasingly more people and goods around the world. With the prominence of these drivers of emergence, when a new zoonotic pathogen that is also readily transmitted from person to person is detected first in humans, it will be extremely difficult to achieve containment, even when everything that can be done is done efficiently and effectively. Thus, looking for ways to prevent emergence and to detect these pathogens at the first point possible in animal populations deserves serious consideration. The questions that ultimately must be asked in dissecting the influenza A(H1N1) 2009 outbreak are: what surveillance systems could have identi- fied the problem more quickly, whether those systems could have triggered a global response to limit its spread and/or impact in a more timely way, and what lessons can be drawn from the experience and extrapolated to other potential emergent disease agents—some of which are unknown at the present time. Although the time from the detection of a cluster of severe pneumonia cases in Mexico to the identification of the cause as influenza A(H1N1) 2009 and global awareness and a patchwork global response was shorter than that experienced in previous outbreaks, we believe the ur- gency will only grow to create an even more effective system for sustained, integrated, early human and animal disease detection that is immediately followed by and intimately linked to a timely and appropriately targeted response. Achieving such a system is not easy: If it were, it would have been accomplished decades ago. But given the inevitability of disease emergence occurring again and again, the solution requires strong leadership and com- mitment to ensure that multiple disciplines from different sectors will work closely together to address the myriad complex and sophisticated challenges they will pose. For this reason, the committee believes it is high time for national and international public health leadership, as recommended in this report, to address how global and effectively integrated zoonotic disease surveillance can be achieved. The recently announced USAID Predict and Respond ini- tiatives are a good start, but more will be required from actors of all levels to address a global concern. Little comfort can be taken in the fact that SARS turned out to be readily controlled by simple barrier and sanitary measures, that highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 influenza virus has yet to acquire the necessary attributes for efficient human-to- human transmission, and that influenza A(H1N1) 2009 does not, at this time, seem to be both readily transmitted and highly virulent in humans. Each of these agents may still evolve to become the highly pathogenic

xiii PREFACE pandemic strains of the future, or others may arise that are far more chal- lenging to address. We thank the committee for serving as individuals and away from their institutional affiliations and obligations, and for giving so willingly and col- legially of their time and effort. On behalf of the committee, we would like to thank the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council staff who worked tirelessly throughout the development of this report, providing sup- port and assistance in organization, planning, execution, writing, and more. This report would not have been possible without their participation. Gerald T.

H1N1 ("swine flu"), SARS, mad cow disease, and HIV/AIDS are a few examples of zoonotic diseases-diseases transmitted between humans and animals. Zoonotic diseases are a growing concern given multiple factors: their often novel and unpredictable nature, their ability to emerge anywhere and spread rapidly around the globe, and their major economic toll on several disparate industries.

Infectious disease surveillance systems are used to detect this threat to human and animal health. By systematically collecting data on the occurrence of infectious diseases in humans and animals, investigators can track the spread of disease and provide an early warning to human and animal health officials, nationally and internationally, for follow-up and response. Unfortunately, and for many reasons, current disease surveillance has been ineffective or untimely in alerting officials to emerging zoonotic diseases.

Sustaining Global Surveillance and Response to Emerging Zoonotic Diseases assesses some of the disease surveillance systems around the world, and recommends ways to improve early detection and response. The book presents solutions for improved coordination between human and animal health sectors, and among governments and international organizations.

Parties seeking to improve the detection and response to zoonotic diseases—including U.S. government and international health policy makers, researchers, epidemiologists, human health clinicians, and veterinarians—can use this book to help curtail the threat zoonotic diseases pose to economies, societies, and health.
