4. 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 the international and national responses - and in particular the experiences of
Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand. It asks how effective is the disease surveillance and
response system - can it respond to a new pandemic threat? The comparative analysis reveals the
challenges and limitations of a technocratic, centralised response, and the need to take seriously
local contexts. 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.
