Abstract

Former World Health Organisation chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, said that most emerging viral threats are zoonotic infections transmitted from animals to humans. Swaminathan, also the former Director General of the Indian Council of Medical Research, emphasised the critical role of integrated research, including data from weather, climate, health, and environmental sources, to predict and prevent future outbreaks. She spoke after launching various initiatives undertaken as part of a major research project on water quality assessment of Vembanad Lake and water-borne infectious diseases at ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in Kochi.
