Abstract
The past two decades have been seen the emergence of pathogenic infectious diseases such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and tick-borne diseases, which represent a substantial global threat to human health. Other contributing factors may include habitat changes caused by humans and resource depletion, causing the displacement of traditional wild hosts. These new animal and human health changes will require innovative measure to improve vigilance. International hazard, identification, risk communication and risk management strategies will become increasingly important as new disease emerge in the future. Organizations such as the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN and the World Health Organization will have a decisive role to play in the detection and management of emerging disease.
