新出现/再出现的人畜共患疾病是一个重大的全球卫生问题。将乌干达节肢动物/病媒种群的综合病原体监测与区域和国际一级的公共卫生监测联系起来，将对东非的人类和动物健康以及整个“一个世界一个健康”概念作出重要贡献。将重点关注可能导致人类、野生动物和牲畜患病的啮齿动物传播的病原体。更全面地了解已知和未知啮齿动物传播的人畜共患病病原体的生态，对于评估地方和全球人类和动物健康的风险至关重要。正在乌干达拉凯建立新发/再发病毒规划。已经采购了开始调查该区域新出现的病毒性疾病的必要设备，并将在下一个财政年度运往乌干达。目前在西非爆发的埃博拉病毒导致计划进行实地考察，以建立实验室并开始捕获啮齿动物和昆虫，并与区域卫生当局建立联系，这将推迟到下一个财政年度。

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.
