Principles for Evaluation of One Health Surveillance: The EVA Book

by Marisa Peyre (Editor), Franïois Roger (Editor), Flavie Goutard (Editor)

Overview

This book outlines essential elements of the evaluation of health surveillance within the One Health concept. It provides an introduction to basic theoretical notions of evaluation and vividly discusses related challenges. Expert authors cover the entire spectrum of available, innovative methods, from those for system process evaluations to methods for the economic evaluation of the surveillance strategies. Each chapter provides a detailed description of the methodology required and the tools available as illustrated by practical examples of animal health or One Health surveillance evaluations in both developed and developing countries.

Targeting not only scientists, including epidemiologists, but also technical advisers of decision-makers, the present work is suitable for the evaluation of any type of health surveillance system - animal, human or combined - regardless of the socio-economic context. The volume is richly equipped with practical tools and examples, which enables the reader to apply the methods described. Increasing importance of health surveillance, and threats from disease outbreaks such as the coronavirus pandemic, underline the practical relevance of this work, which will fill an important gap in the literature.

About the Author

Marisa Peyre, Eng., PhD, is an epidemiologist at CIRAD, French Institute for International Agricultural Research for Development. She graduated in biotechnology engineering (Bordeaux, France) and obtained her PhD in Immunology (London, UK). Marisa has extensively worked on the evaluation of animal health surveillance and control both in developed and developing countries and provides expertise for international organizations (OIE, FAO). Her key expertise is on evaluation of animal disease management systems (surveillance and control), animal health economics and participatory epidemiology. She is the Deputy Head of the integrated health research unit (ASTRE) and coordinate for CIRAD the PREZODE initiative to prevent and early detect emerging zoonotic risks.

François Roger, DVM, Msc, PhD, is a veterinarian and epidemiologist at CIRAD. He has worked for more than 20 years in sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, Asia and the Indian Ocean as a researcher and Research Unit Director. He has developed and applied surveillance systems of animal and zoonotic diseases and interdisciplinary health networks in the field of emerging and endemic diseases by applying One Health concept. He is now the regional director of CIRAD for Southeast Asia.

Flavie Goutard, DVM, MSc, PhD, is a veterinarian and epidemiologist at CIRAD. She graduated from the National Veterinary School of Toulouse (France). Having a Master in Epidemiology and Public Health (London, UK) and a PhD in Health Risk (CNAM, France), she brings longstanding experience in the field of infectious diseases epidemiology in tropical countries. Flavie has mainly worked on the development of adapted surveillance, participatory approaches and control strategies for animal diseases in rural settings. She was an adjunct professor at Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand, for 9 years where she directed a Master Program in the One Health field. She provides expertise for internationalorganizations (OIE, FAO), and is currently coordinating the regional research platform GREASE for Southeast Asia.
