This Infectious Disease Management Module is one of the sixteen modules developed by One Health Central and East Africa (OHCEA), a network of 21 schools of public health and veterinary medicine in East and Central Africa for the purposes of building capacity in these institutions to prevent, detect and respond to any emerging pandemics using One Health approach. This module aims at introducing participants to the basic principles of preventing, detecting, and responding to infectious disease outbreaks in the context of One Health. The module uses One Health approach to examine various important infectious diseases of humans and animals and to help participants understand the fundamentals of infectious disease ecology and their impacts on humans, animals and the environment.
Key outcomes of the module are the ability to:
i) illustrate One Health concept as it relates to infectious disease management.
ii) explain the relationship between humans, animals, and the environment in infectious disease transmission.
iii) understand the role of surveillance in infectious disease management.
iv) apply multi-disciplinary approaches to infectious disease investigation, response and management.
