Preparedness: Improving One Health signalling and risk analysis systems for zoonoses

In this PhD project, signalling, surveillance and risk assessment tools will be developed to better prepare The Netherlands against outbreaks of emerging zoonoses. These tools will be applied to the Zoonoses Structure of the Netherlands, but could also be used by other countries to improve risk analysis and surveillance systems for zoonoses. The results of this PhD project will contribute to the ‘Nationaal actieplan versterken zoönosenbeleid’.

The project can be structured in two parts. In the first part, the knowledge base and surveillance systems for One Health in The Netherlands and other countries will be assessed. In the second part, the project will focus more on developing and improving One Health risk assessment and prioritisation systems for zoonotic diseases.
