inter-ministerial scientific study launched under the 'One Health' approach to monitor bird-human interactions?Solution
India has launched a pioneering inter-ministerial scientific study to address zoonotic spillover risks at the human-wildlife-environment interface. This comprehensive research project aims to develop a real-time surveillance model to detect and diagnose zoonotic diseases in bird sanctuary workers and nearby residents. The study, titled "Building a surveillance model for detecting zoonotic spillover in increased bird-human interaction settings using the One Health approach: A study at selected bird sanctuaries and wetlands," was launched at the Indian Council of Medical Research Headquarters. Zoonotic diseases are infectious illnesses that spread between animals and humans, caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses, fungi, and prions. They can be transmitted through contact with infected body fluids, animal bites, contaminated water, and consumption of infected meat.
