In the 2015 KVF Jubb Fellowship Public Lecture, Dr Ted Leighton argues that veterinary medicine has both the capacity and a major obligation to apply its knowledge and problem-solving skills to understanding and managing the wild animal side of the global health equation. He places wildlife health in the context of the global ecology of the 21st century and its intersections with public health, food security and global ecological imperatives.

    New World Pathogen Strategy Disclosed*


    (Transmitted by Thomas Eisner & Paul R. Ehrlich)

    June 2001
    We have recently received, from a highly placed scientific source, a
    remarkable document.
    It appears to be the keynote address from a convention of the World
    Pathogen Association (WPA) entitled:
    Our Infective Future: The New Agenda

    In it, President Prion, announces a profound change in policy that


    should be of grave concern to humanity, because it portends a shift in
    the goals of our major predators.
    We are grateful to Science for communicating the text in its entirety.

    New World Pathogen Strategy Disclosed

    Key Points
    that most of our natural hosts are
    disappearing.
    a single species, Homo sapiens, has come
    to reign supreme on Earth
    we must prepare ourselves to change our
    tastes, shift hosts, and take advantage of the
    single most appealing and available addition
    to our menu
    2015 KVF Jubb Fellowship Public Lecture

    There are many factors that give us hope.

    In extraordinary numbers, they are now


    undernourished and immunodeficient.
    They are on the move, spreading us and
    providing us many new opportunities
    They expend their medical resources on the few,
    failing to exclude us
    They misuse antibiotics, blind to our
    evolutionary capacity
    They are recklessly changing the climate,
    releasing many of us from our historical
    geographical constraints
    2015 KVF Jubb Fellowship Public Lecture

    In conclusion

    All in all, my fellow pathogens, Homo is the


    opportunity that ultimately can benefit us all.
    Aside from their prevalence in numbers, they
    show all the weaknesses that maximize our
    effective potential There is a free lunch, and
    it is them.
