Abstract: Abstract The influenza virus and zoonotic diseases are perennial companions of human society, posing substantial direct threats to human lives and livelihoods as well as to animal populations. Zoonotic diseases coevolve with human society, animal husbandry, and technology, and this book presents multidisciplinary frameworks to assess zoonotic-disease impacts and to control them. This research is applied to one of today’s most important pandemic threats, Avian Flu (HPAI type H5N1), but it has lessons of relevance to most zoonotic-disease risks—past, present, and future.
