The project develops and co-coordinates a set of generic methods, tools and skills such as predictive models, early warning and monitoring tools which can be used by decision makers for risk assessment, decision support for intervention and public health policies. |

| | The joint Human Animal Infections and Risk Surveillance (HAIRS) group is a multi-agency and cross-disciplinary horizon scanning group with members from the HPA, Defra, the Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA), and the Department of Health (DH), and is chaired by the HPA’s Department of Emerging Infections and Zoonoses (EIZ) at the Centre for Infections (CFI). The Chair of the NEPNEI and representatives from National Public Health Service for Wales (for the devolved administration of Wales) and the Food Standards Agency also attend. The group has met every month since February 2004 and acts as a forum to identify and discuss infections with potential for interspecies transfer (particularly zoonotic infections). If, as a result of horizon scanning activities, infections are thought to be of significance, they are included in a monthly “Summary of notable events/incidents of public health significance”. See Reports section for a 2004 powerpoint presentation about the work of this group.

Conduct research on molecular epidemiology of emerging zoonoses and evaluate appropriate sentinels in wildlife reservoir, domestic animals and in human populations. Investigate pathogenesis of emerging zoonoses in animal models. Educate veterinarians and other health professionals, especially from the Americas, in the use of new epidemiological and diagnostic methods useful for conducting research and improving general knowledge of new and emerging zoonoses throughout the world. The website includes a series of powerpoint presentations concerning zoonotic diseases. |
