The Historical Evolution of International Collaborations in Cross Border Infectious Disease Events… From the Quarantine in Europe during the Medieval Plague Outbreaks on
No full textThe Hertog Global Strategy Initiative is a research program that employs historical analysis to confront present and future problems in world politics. The 2011 topic is the History and Future of Pandemic Threats and Global Public Health. In this lecture, David Heymann, chairman of the board of the Health Protection Agency, United Kingdom, discusses the history and future of global public health and pandemic threats
Microscope to Telescope: New Research Network for Health Systems and Infection - 16 June 2011
No full textLONDON - A new global network of scientists has been set up with the goal of helping all countries control infectious diseases. Instead of focussing on specific illnesses the Research Network For Health Systems And Infection - based at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine - concentrates specifically on improving health-care delivery systems. Mr Greg Reilly and Professor Anne Mills of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine join Professor David Heymann, Chair of the UK Health Protection Agency (and former Representative of the Director-General for Polio Eradication - World Health Organization) to tell Sarah Maxwell about the paramount importance of organising excellent health systems as a pre-requisite for establishing health for all

Veterinary Record
's series of articles promoting One Health, Mathew Dixon, Osman Dar and David Heymann examine lessons learned from previous disease outbreaks; they also consider current threats and how a better understanding of underlying risk factors could stimulate a paradigm shift from treatment to prevention of zoonotic infectious disease
Interspecific Variation of Scent-Marking Behaviour in Wild Tamarins, Saguinus mystax and Saguinus fuscicollis
No full textThe scent-marking behaviour of sympatric moustached,
Saguinus mystax
, and saddle-back tamarins,
Saguinus fuscicollis
, was compared in order to explore interspecific differences and potential sources of variation. The author examined basic patterns of scent marking (types, intensity, complexity), substrate use (type, orientation, height), and social patterning of scent marking in three groups of
S. mystax
and one group of
S. fuscicollis
at the Estación Biológica Quebrada Blanco, Peruvian Amazonia.
S. mystax
and
S. fuscicollis
differed significantly in the relative frequency of different types, and in the intensity and complexity of scent marking. Only
S. fuscicollis
showed allomarking. They also differed significantly in the type, orientation and height of substrates used for scent marking which corresponded to general differences in substrate use. In
S. fuscicollis
, but very rarely in
S. mystax
, two or more group members marked the same site sequentially or simultaneously. ‘Collective scent marking’, i.e. simultaneous scent marking by most or all group members, occurred only in
S. fuscicollis
. Since both tamarin species live sympatrically in mixed-species groups, ecological factors are unlikely to account for the differences found in scent-marking behaviour (except for differences in substrate use). They probably relate to as yet unknown differences in social and reproductive strategies of the two species

Avencio Villarejo: Misionero en la Selva Baja del Perú 1934-1949
No full textDr. Catherine Heymann, professor at the University of Angers, has been very close to the life and adventure of the Augustinian priest Avencio Villarejo, known by this name in the Amazons. As an assiduous reader of his works, especially of the books, Así es la selva and La aventura de un agustino en la Selva, an Amazonian encyclopedia giving the background of the stories, she penetrates into the interior world of this missionary, highlights his capacity and bravery in traveling through forests and rivers of the low regions between 1934 and 1949. The protagonist of this history analyzes meticulously the most diverse experiences of the people encountered on the journey as well as the diversity of geography, the plants and the animal species. To go through this life requires a great missionary courage in all its different aspects which the author assumes admirably.La Dra. Catherine Heymann, profesora de la Universidad de Angers, ha vivido muy unida a la vida y aventura del agustino P. Avencio Villarejo, tan conocido en la Amazonia. Lectora asidua de sus obras, sobre todo de Así Es la Selva y lo que ha dado sustento a los relatos que dieron origen a esta enciclopedia amazónica. La aventura de un agustino en la Selva, se introduce al interior del mundo de este misionero, poniendo de relieve su capacidad y valentía, recorriendo bosques y ríos de la selva baja entre 1934 y 1949. El protagonista de esta historia analiza meticulosamente las más diversas experiencias tanto de la gente que encuentra en su caminar como la diversidad en cuanto a la geografía, las plantas y las especies animales. Recorrer esta vida es una lección de coraje misionero en las distintas dimensiones, que la autora asume admirada
