• Animal disease-related events that covered the front pages of international newspapers during the past 10-15 years such as the outbreak and further spread of Mad Cow Disease (BSE) in the UK, highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza that caused an unprecedented spread over 5 Continents in a short time with the threat of a possible human pandemic; the recent outbreak of H1N1 influenza and the outbreak of Ebola Reston virus in the Philippines, are just a few examples of the new and in many instances alarming focus that has been placed on the strong linkage between human and animal health.
