From page 183...
... APPENDIX A 183 These include strategies to analyze prior outbreaks, model future trends in pandemic drivers, conduct targeted surveillance in wildlife and human populations, and probe the depth of the zoonotic "pool" from which novel EIDs arise. Here we review some of these by posing eight critical questions for pandemic prediction.

Because almost all prior pandemics, and the majority of emerging infectious diseases, are zoonotic in origin, with the majority of these having a wildlife host, this map acts as a potential basis for future targeted surveillance and the pre-empting of potential pandemics.

From page 199...
... APPENDIX A 199 Incubation and Infectious Period Two parameters of any model for R0 are central to our ability to control the initial emergence of a novel pathogen. Ironically we tend to worry more about the transmissibility of the pathogen, which is always the hardest thing to estimate, than we do about these other two equally vital parameters: incubation and infectious period.

... APPENDIX A 205 There are three insights that I want to make from these figures: 1. This does not mean that climate change is not important; it means we need to understand how climate interacts with other aspects of global change.
From page 206...
... 206 GLOBAL CHANGE AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE DYNAMICS suggests that virus hunters who head for the tropics to look for undiscovered viruses in rare species are significantly, scientifically deluded. An alternative perspective on biodiversity considers the role it may play in buffering pathogen emergence and reducing the potential for the emergence of novel pathogens.
From page 207...
... APPENDIX A 207 why mosquitoes and bacteria quickly evolve resistance; in contrast, birds of prey were unlikely to ever evolve resistance to egg-shell thinning: if it takes a hundred generations to evolve resistance, then what takes months for bacteria requires centuries for a bird of prey. There is really only one pathogen that has emerged recently where no attempt has been made to eradicate the pathogen and its evolution has been studied beyond the first few generations of cases.
