Abstract

Drawing on real-life examples from past influenza outbreaks, particularly 2009 H1N1pdm and 2013 H7N9, this talk will highlight the state of the science in influenza preparedness research, in mitigation of annual epidemics, the next pandemic and newly emerging outbreaks otherwise. It will draw on the multiple disciplines of ecology, evolutionary biology, virology, epidemiology, and mathematical sciences. A “One Health” approach that recognises the zoonotic driver of epidemics will be emphasised. Particular attention will focus on the multiple strands of global health initiatives contributing to the common goal of health and human security against influenza and its sequelae.
