Microbiology expert Faculty of Medicine
(FK) University of Gadjah Mada (UGM), dr. Abu Tholib M.Sc, Ph.D, Sp.MK, said
today that have to watch out for is the emergence of new infectious diseases in
Indonesia.
Indonesia is one of the Southeast Asia region is considered to be the largest endemic places the emergence of new infectious diseases like bird flu, malaria, dengue, tuberculosis, rabies, and so forth.
"Such diseases can now growing rapidly and many of the changes caused by genetic mutations. If it is not anticipated, a new disease can spread from Indonesia to the world in one week," said Abu Tholib on the sidelines of the discussion at the Faculty of Medicine, Tuesday (8 / 5/2012).
He said every year is estimated at least appear a kind of new infectious diseases spread levels may extend to many countries. One example of the swine flu outbreak in Mexico.
According to him, in general, the disease is the result of interaction between humans and animals and humans and their environment. Therefore, treatment of this disease should be done through multi-sectoral collaboration among mutlidisiplin and health through the concept of one being rolled by the WHO.
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of UGM has recently formed a partnership with the University of Minnesota, and Tufsts University, United States, to develop one application of health through knowledge and experience exchange, research collaboration and exchange of faculty and students.
According to him the concept of one health is needed in Indonesia. Through the concept of one health, diseases of zoonotic infections can be treated early and intensively.
"It takes education and training involving researchers from various disciplines to share include physicians, veterinarians, nutritionists, nurses, ecologists and social scientists," he said.
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine zoonosis expert (FKH), Prof.. Dr. drh. Wayan Artama Tunas, adding the handling of zoonotic diseases can not be overcome by treatment of human doctors, but also need the involvement of a veterinarian.
"The spread of this disease should also be investigated, especially the move from animals to humans or vice versa. Thus need treatment more intensive animal diseases," said Wayan.
Recognized Wayan, diseases of animals are not separated from the effects of human habits and behavior that result from interaction with animals. Inevitably, such as a medium of transmission intrekasi.
The same thing also revealed by researchers from the University of Minnesota, Linda Olson Keller said the spread of disease surveillance and control must involve many researchers from various fields of science.
He gave an example in the United States found an average of one new type of disease that occur each year. Although it arguably does not really new, because diantaraya result of the change and the development of previously existing disease.
"At least we found a new disease every year," Linda.
He said the type of influenza illness is still in the spotlight and receive intensive supervision of the U.S. Department of Health. Swine flu in Mexico and the West Nile Virus (West Nile Virus) from the Middle East continue to be monitored so as not to endemic to the United States.
