Attitudes towards zoonotic disease risk vary across sociodemographic, communication and health-related factors: A general population survey on literacy about zoonoses in the Netherlands.

Introduction: Literacy about zoonoses can contribute people adapt their behaviour to minimize zoonotic risks. In this study, associations between sociodemographic factors and zoonotic risk-averse attitudes were explored.

Objective: To determine factors significantly associated with literacy about zoonoses across sociodemographic groups to inform targeted interventions aiming at improving awareness and zoonotic risk-avoidance behaviours.

Signalling and responding to zoonotic threats using a One Health approach: a decade of the Zoonoses Structure in the Netherlands, 2011 to 2021.

In the Netherlands, the avian influenza outbreak in poultry in 2003 and the Q fever outbreak in dairy goats between 2007 and 2010 had severe consequences for public health. These outbreaks led to the establishment of an integrated human-veterinary risk analysis system for zoonoses, the Zoonoses Structure. The aim of the Zoonoses Structure is to signal, assess and control emerging zoonoses that may pose a risk to animal and/or human health in an integrated One Health approach.

Density of Patient-Sharing Networks: Impact on the Value of Parkinson Care.

Background: Optimal care for Parkinson's disease (PD) requires coordination and collaboration between providers within a complex care network. Individual patients have personalised networks of their own providers, creating a unique informal network of providers who treat ('share') the same patient. These 'patient-sharing networks' differ in density, ie, the number of identical patients they share.

The Voice of the Parkinson Customer.

Background And Objectives: To improve the care for patients with chronic neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease, identifying the core needs of patients is crucial. In this article, we present the Voice of the Customer approach (originally developed in the field of industry to probe the clients' needs), a novel methodology to identify these needs.

Methods: A group of 12 discussants carried out in depth interviews to patients (n = 20), relatives (n = 12) and healthcare professionals (n = 11).
