Why CEZD?

  • Who is CEZD?

    The Community for Emerging and Zoonotic Diseases (CEZD) is a Canadian virtual multidisciplinary network that includes partners from provincial, federal and municipal governments, industry, and academia in areas of public, animal and environmental health.

  • Why was CEZD developed?

    CEZD was developed to support Canada’s animal early warning, preparedness and response capabilities needs regarding emerging and zoonotic diseases.

  • What does CEZD do?

    Through the gathering of information, analysis, and the generation and distribution of timely intelligence reports, Canada is now better able to anticipate, manage, and mitigate pending disease threats on its society, economy, environment, and animal resources.

  • How does CEZD work?

    Our community has the collective expertise to identify, understand, and assess the risks associated with emerging situations. We strive to create a safe and respectful environment where each one of our individual strengths can be shared at our virtual round table.
