In this episode of Communicable, hosts Angela Huttner and Marc Bonten invite two members of the ESCMID Emerging Infections Subcommittee, Martin Grobusch (Amsterdam, Netherlands) and Pikka Jokelainen (Copenhagen, Denmark), to discuss infectious disease outbreaks. Sparked by the Subcommittee's beloved 'Epi Alert', which identifies and tracks outbreaks around the world, the episode covers common missteps and underestimated challenges in handling new outbreaks, the effects of climate change, and what 'One Health' really means.
