Description

Emerging zoonotic diseases continue to pose significant global health challenges, with hantaviruses highlighting the critical link between human, animal, and environmental health. This CPD webinar will explore the epidemiology, clinical presentation, transmission dynamics, diagnosis, prevention, and public health implications of hantavirus infections, while emphasizing the broader concept of zoonotic spillover and the importance of a One Health approach in outbreak prevention and preparedness.

Objectives

Here are three clear CPD learning objectives: 1. Describe the epidemiology, transmission pathways, and clinical manifestations of hantavirus infections, including their impact on human health. 2. Discuss the principles of diagnosis, prevention, and public health management of hantavirus infections, with emphasis on reducing the risk of zoonotic transmission. 3. Explain the role of the One Health approach in preventing, detecting, and responding to emerging zoonotic diseases, using hantavirus as a case study.
