Abstract
Recent and widespread outbreaks of Zika, African swine fever, Ebola, and the current COVID-19 highlight the ever increasing risks that zoonotic viruses pose to human and animal health. To counter this threat our understanding of the epidemiology of viruses at the human and animal interface must be brought to a next level which requires collaborative efforts across countries, disciplines and stakeholders. To this end we present this project which concerns a one-week workshop in which Wageningen and Chinese scientists jointly identify knowledge gaps and focal areas to address this global threat.
