The UK Health Security Agency’s (UKHSA) Emerging Infections and Zoonoses team uses an integrated horizon scanning approach, which combines information on both human and animal health, to identify and assess outbreaks and incidents of new and emerging infectious diseases, reported nationally and internationally.
The emerging infection summaries provide an overview of incidents (new and updated) of public health significance, which are under close monitoring. The summaries are widely circulated within UKHSA, to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), to colleagues working in animal health, and internationally.
