Integrated surveillance and early warning system for emerging infectious diseases based on One Health concept: Structures and innovations.

One Health is an upgrade and optimization of health concepts, which recognizes the integrated health of the human-animal-environment. It emphasizes the use of interdisciplinary collaboration, multi-sectoral coordination, and multi-organizational One Health approaches to solve scientific questions. The surveillance and early warning system is the basis of public health emergency prevention and control. The COVID-19 pandemic and the emerging infectious disease (EID) have put great challenges on the existing surveillance and early warning systems worldwide. Guided by the concept of One Health, we attempt to build a new pattern of integrated surveillance and early warning system for EID. We will detail the system including the One Health-based organizational structure, zoonotic and environmental science surveillance network, EID reporting process, and support and guarantee from education and policy. The integrated surveillance and early warning system for EID constructed here has practical and application prospects, and will provide guidance for the prevention and control of COVID-19 and the possible EID in the future.Copyright © 2022, National Institute of Parasitic Diseases.

The development of pandemic outbreak communication: A literature review from the response enactment perspective

In December 2019, the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV, which has caused the latest public health emergency of international concern, began to spread with exponential speed around the whole world. To further the understanding of how media technologies contribute to knowledge management for a pandemic outbreak communication (POC), this paper, through Key-route main path analysis (MPA), investigates the research literature on POC. This paper found that studies on the main paths mainly focus on public cognition at the beginning and later the attention is transferred to how to fight against the outbreak and thus reveals the changing role of media technologies in knowledge management. To examine the dynamic structure of communication between government and public, this study relies on the “enactment” perspective to shed light on how the government makes sense of the media technologies and the circumstances of the pandemic to further knowledge management in POC. © Operational Research Society 2021.
