Where do 72% of zoonotic EIDs originate?
In wildlife
What are 54% of EIDs caused by? What does that reflect?
Bacterial
Reflects potential drug-resistance
What are EIDs correlated with?
Socioeconomics, environment and ecology, providing a basis for identifying hotspots for re-emergence
Where does a substantial risk of EIDs occur?
Where reporting is poor
True or False: global resources to counter disease emergence are poorly allocated.
True
