- Abstract:
The article discusses shortcomings in the ability to monitor the transmission of disease from animals to humans as of 2009. The unknown origin of the H1N1 swine flu strain which emerged in early 2009 is described as an example, noting that scientists recommend the establishment of surveillance systems and technologies that would allow researchers to accurately track the origin of such diseases.
