The transfer of animal-borne diseases to the human population is a significant threat to global health. The consequences of human-to-human transmission of such diseases warrant exceptional levels of international attention and cooperation. In response to this need, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has established a unique collaborative among animal and public health leaders in an effort to better prepare all populations - particularly underserved and disenfranchised communities - for the threat of new and emerging infectious diseases.
