Over the past decade, substantial resources have been spent on tackling avian influenza and building a global capacity for a pandemic response. The catastrophic costs of the 1918 influenza pandemic are well documented, and the swine flu pandemic of 2009-10 has raised the alarm yet again. Across the world, surveillance systems have been upgraded, stockpiles of antiviral drugs and influenza vaccines have been created, veterinary and public health systems have been improved and poultry production and marketing has been dramatically restructured. What are the lessons from this experience? And what does this suggest for the future?

This book explores how virus genetics, ecology and epidemiology intersect with economic, political and policy processes in a variety of places--from Bangkok to Washington, to Jakarta, Cairo, Rome and London. It focuses on the interaction of international and national responses--and in particular the experiences of Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand. It asks how effective the disease surveillance and response system is — and whether it can respond to a new pandemic threat. The comparative analysis reveals the challenges and limitations of a technocratic, centralized response, and the need to take local contexts seriously. Drawing from these experiences, the book concludes with a discussion of future prospects and challenges, examining in particular what a "One World, One Health" approach--where approaches to animal, human and ecosystem health are integrated--would look like in practice.

The threat of an imminent influenza pandemic has society frantically searching for preventatives and treatments. The 1918 pandemic, the most lethal in history, is being carefully studied for clues on how to handle the next pandemic. At present, our ability to cope with a fast-moving, highly infectious form of influenza is very limited. This book covers a previously overlooked path: The use of plants to ease the symptoms of influenza. A group of licensed physicians, the Eclectics, successfully used herbs to ease the severe aches and pains, fevers, and coughs as well as to prevent pulmonary complications that were common and often fatal in the 1918 pandemic. This book describes over 30 herbs actually used to treat influenza as well how physicians determined which herb to use and how to dose the plant.

Many Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies have been preparing for an influenza pandemic since 2006. Efforts were accelerated when the WHO declared the pandemic stage on 12 June 2009. Early and adequate preparedness activities can reduce transmission, and avoid illness from developing into more severe respiratory disease, particularly in crowded and vulnerable communities. Preparedness and response activities in each country are unique and adapted to local contexts.
