Sargeant Centre for Public Health and Zoonoses, Department of Population Medicine, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada Citation: Ng V, Sargeant JM (2012) A Quantitative and Novel Approach to the Prioritization of Zoonotic Diseases in North America: A Public Perspective. PLoS ONE 7(11): e48519. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0048519 “Conclusions/Significance: This was the first study to describe a systematic and quantitative approach to the prioritization of zoonoses in North America involving public participants. We found individuals with no prior knowledge or experience in prioritizing zoonoses were capable of producing meaningful results using CA as a novel quantitative approach to prioritization. More similarities than differences were observed between countries suggesting general agreement in disease prioritization between Canadians and Americans. We demonstrate CA as a potential tool for the prioritization of zoonoses; other prioritization exercises may also consider this approach. ... “ Read more: See attachment.

Sargeant Centre for Public Health and Zoonoses, and Department of Population Medicine, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada Citation: Ng V, Sargeant JM (2012) A Stakeholder-Informed Approach to the Identification of Criteria for the Prioritization of Zoonoses in Canada. PLoS ONE 7(1): e29752. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0029752 “Conclusions/Significance: This was the first study to describe a mixed semi-quantitative and qualitative approach to deriving criteria for disease prioritization. This was also the first study to involve the opinion of the general public regarding disease prioritization. The number of criteria identified highlights the difficulty in prioritizing zoonotic diseases. The method presented in this paper has formulated a comprehensive list of criteria that can be used to inform future disease prioritization studies. ... “ Read more: See http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/publications/NgandSargeant(2012).pdf
