The VPHI contributed to a report led by Dr. Craig Stephen and prepared for the Preparedness and Resilience Department of the World Animal Health Organization (OIE).
In particular, VPHI researchers conducted a vulnerability assessment with the goal of assessing the nature and quantity of peer-reviewed research that could be used to identify critical control points for pathogen spillover between source wildlife within the wildlife trade supply chain and other spillover hosts.
