Strategies focused on the prevention of emerging infectious disease outbreaks are currently in the spotlight of discussions among researchers committed to infectious disease control. In this mini-review, we provided a brief update on this discussion and characterized the three main targets for investments in emerging infectious disease prevention: animals, human sentinels for spillover events, and the general human population. Furthermore, the pros and cons of each target are highlighted. Despite the particularities of the proposed targets, each of them can fill different gaps in the surveillance of infectious diseases. When all three targets are focused on together, they create a powerful strategy of emerging infectious disease prevention.
目前，致力于传染病控制的研究人员正在讨论以预防新发传染病为重点的策略。在这个简短的综述中，我们对该讨论进行了简要更新，并将新发传染病预防投资的三个主要目标进行了特征描述：动物、溢出事件的人类哨兵和一般人群。此外，还突出了每个目标的优缺点。尽管提出的目标有其特殊性，但它们中的每一个都可以填补传染病监测中的不同空白。当同时关注这三个目标时，它们就形成了一种强大的新发传染病预防策略。
