新出现/再次出现的人畜共患疾病是一个重大的全球健康问题。将对乌干达节肢动物/病媒种群的全面病原体监测与区域和国际一级的公共卫生监测联系起来，将对东非的人和动物健康以及整个“同一个世界同一个健康”概念作出重要贡献。重点将放在啮齿动物传播的病原体上，这些病原体可能会导致人类、野生动物和牲畜的疾病。更全面地了解已知和未知的啮齿动物传播的人畜共患病病原体的生态，对于评估当地和全球人畜健康的风险至关重要。在乌干达拉凯建立新出现/重新出现的病毒方案正在进行中。开始对该区域新出现的病毒性疾病进行调查的必要设备已经采购完毕，将在下一财政年度运往乌干达。目前埃博拉病毒在西非的爆发导致了一项计划中的实地考察，以建立实验室，启动啮齿动物和昆虫诱捕，并与地区卫生当局建立联系，但被推迟到下一财年。

Emerging/re-emerging zoonotic diseases are a major global health problem. Linking comprehensive pathogen surveillance of arthropod/vector populations in Uganda with public health surveillance at the regional and international level will make an important contribution to human and animal health in East Africa and the One World One Health concept in general. There will be a focus on rodent-borne pathogens potentially causing disease in humans, wildlife and livestock. A more comprehensive understanding of the ecology of known and unknown rodent-borne zoonotic pathogens is essential for a risk assessment for local and global human and animal health. The establishment of an emerging/re-emerging virus program in Rakai, Uganda is ongoing. The necessary equipment to start investigations into emerging viral disease in the region have been procured and will be transported to Uganda in the following fiscal year. The current Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa has resulted in a planned field expedition to set up the lab and initiate rodent and insect trapping as well as establishing contacts with the regional health authorities to be delayed until the next fiscal year.
