• Description:
  Collaboration is the key, to success when tackling any complex issue. CDC’s Division of High-Consequence Pathogens and Pathology (DHCPP) discovered just how critical collaboration can be when they launched a project in Ethiopia to
  
  tackle some of the country’s dangerous yet neglected zoonotic pathogens. Zoonotic diseases are those spread to humans by animals, and 3 out of every 4 new or emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic.
  
  Ethiopia is home to a host of zoonotic pathogens, including many that are considered to be a threat to the United States and other countries around the world. Ethiopia in particular is vulnerable to the effects of zoonotic diseases as the economy is largely dependent on agriculture, and it is home to the largest animal population in Africa.
