Human healthcare need to collaborations with entomologists, veterinarians, and wildlife oversight agencies [

Surveillance collaborations with partners outside traditional human public health systems 

As illustrated by the broad variety of infectious disease surveillance systems, diverse sources of information can be utilized. The development of these systems relies upon new collaborations between human public health agencies and nontraditional partners. For example, domestic and wildlife animal health agencies have traditionally acted as separate entities apart from human health agencies. However, the increasing recognition of the importance of zoonotic diseases to human health has encouraged innovative collaborations. When West Nile virus emerged in the US, public health officials who customarily focused only on human diseases began forging collaborations with entomologists, veterinarians, and wildlife oversight agencies [42]. Human health agencies often do not have these diversely skilled personnel, but instead depend upon common goals and national agendas to facilitate collaborations.
