Collaboration across a diverse range of scientific disciplines is among the most important factors in efforts to detect and control outbreaks of new infectious diseases like Influenza A (H1N1), according to one of the world's leading virologists, UTMB's Thomas Ksiazek. Ksiazek said the concept of ‘one biology' - the integration of multiple scientific disciplines - was playing an increasingly important role in identifying where zoonotic diseases - those affecting humans and animals - originate.
