ProMED (7421 words)
Because of their common interest in zoonotic diseases and the similarity of infectious diseases in humans and animals, many human and animal disease experts believe that collaboration in a surveillance program would be beneficial to both and would eventually provide greater efficiency and decreased costs.
Diseases of animals and plants, as well as those of humans, affect human health and well-being; they contribute to malnutrition, a factor in human vulnerability to infectious diseases, and are subject to similar factors determining emergence.
These disease presentations, because of their severity and distinctiveness, have a reasonable likelihood of coming to the attention of health care workers and are relatively easy to recognize.
