Abstract
Controlling influenza pandemics requires extensive scientific research, both in the laboratory and in the field. Focusing on the experience with influenza A H1N1, H5N1 and H7N9, this chapter sets out a historical framework for implementing the One Health paradigm within the context of interspecies medicine. Effective control and eradication of influenza viruses requires extensive surveillance, improved biosecurity, improved detection devices, new vaccines and monitoring.
