And on the right, you see a picture in Tanzania, another place where I work
而右側是坦桑尼亞的圖，我工作的另一個地方
And this is a watering hole where during the day a woman may come to get the water for her child, and to water her cattle
這是一個水塘，白天在這里一個女人來取水喂孩子，并喂牛
But in the evening, you'll see the wildlife come here as well
而晚上，野生動物也在這里飲水
So there are areas of shared resources where we come together with our animals, then we have an opportunity to share diseases there
這就是人和動物共享資源的例子，這為疾病傳播制造了機會
And so at this interface in different 23 different countries in 4 hot spot regions of the world, that's where we're working right now
4個熱點地區中23個國家的接觸點就是我們現在工作的地方
So within this emerging pandemic threat program
PREDICT是新發流行病項目
I'm part of PREDICT, specifically the capacity building aspect there
我參加了該項目，特別是能力建設這方面
And we're working mostly with different wildlife species that we do also overlap into livestock in particular areas of concerns
我們研究很多種野生動物，關心它們同熱點區域家畜的重疊
So we have certain highlight animal host species
我們特別關注的寄主動物
that we think are most likely to be in contact with humans and to develop the next disease that may jump
都是同人類接觸可能性大，且可能發展為將疾病傳給人類的
And so for example here, we're looking at bats and nonhuman primates and rodents as
比如這里，我們研究蝙蝠，非人靈長類，嚙齒類動物
examples of where we want to do targeted surveillance
這就是目標監控的例子
So, let me show you a little bit more about why we're doing this and how we're using the targeted surveillance strategy
我稍微講一下，為什么做這些，以及如何使用目標監控策略
So really we want to start with land-use and population change, right
最開始是土地使用和人口變化
We're using our globe in many many different ways, then we're changing the way that the disease dynamics work
土地的使用越來越多，疾病動態也會隨之變化
As we have increased contact between animals and humans, there's more likelihood for diseases to jump
隨著人類同動物接觸的增加，疾病跨越傳播給人可能性增大
And you can see an enhanced flow of pathogens
病原體流動明顯增多
So if we start at the top, you can see the land use change
從最上面開始，土地使用變化
that may lead to increased contact between animals and humans
這可能導致人與動物接觸增多
That then can lead to enhanced flow of pathogens with zoonotic potential
之后導病原體流動增加，這些病原體具有共通傳染可能
