    Document: There is a growing awareness of the increasing threats presented to humans by emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) [1 -3] , with the majority of human EIDs being zoonotic-originating especially from wildlife reservoirs [4] . Emerging diseases have a huge impact on human societies across the world, affecting both current and future generations. Changes in human living patterns, along with environmental and climate changes, pose unprecedented challenges to the global health of people, animals and ecosystems. Ecosystem health correlates with human health [5] , but the precise relationships remain poorly understood [6] . Understanding and responding to the ecological, social and economic conditions facilitating disease emergence and transmission represent one of the major challenges for humankind today [7] . The risk is not uniform [2] : 53 per cent of global EID outbreaks from 1996 to 2009 were in Africa, yet the continent lags behind severely in infectious disease detection and emerging epidemic warnings [8] .
