: Sarawak Infectious Disease Centre and the State Forest Department should collaborate to collect and study samples of zoonotic and neglected tropical diseases from the jungle in the state.
“I have been asked by a scientist to look into setting up a databank for unknown diseases. With the data that we have, we could compare them with data from research centres around the world and subsequently take prompt measures, including to create vaccines to prevent the outbreak of disease X or Y or Z from turning into a pandemic,” he said.
He said the emergence of unknown viruses was due to deforestation that critically occurred around the globe. Infectious diseases that emerge in people including HIV, Ebola, and Nipah, all of which originated in forest-dwelling animals are transmitted by a range of other animals, most of them wildlife.Dr Annuar who is also Chairman of the Board of Directors of UTS also suggested the setting up of a botanical garden on the university’s 1.6 hectare land where Sarawak native trees such as belian, meranti, selangan, engkabang, nyatoh ketiau, ramin and gaharu are grown.
