Managing Plague in the Field

WHO EPI-WIN Plague, a disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans, has been responsible for widespread pandemics throughout history, including the so-called Black Death that caused over 50 million deaths in Europe during the fourteenth century. It is a severe disease with a high mortality rate, and remains a threat. Cases of plague have been reported across the world except Oceania, and endemic countries are Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar and Peru. However, today it can be easily treated with antibiotics and the use of standard preventative measures. This webinar explores how plague is spread and how it can be managed through the One Health approach.
Speakers:
Dr Eric Berherat, Medical Officer, EPP, WHO
Dr Minoarisoa Rajerison, Head of the Plague Unit, Institut Pasteur, Madagascar
Dr Sandra Telfer, Population ecologist and plague expert, University of Aberdeen, UK
