One Health zoonotic prioritization tool developed in Jordan.

Rank	Criteria	Weight	Question and its description	Answers	Scores
1	Severity of disease	0.4	Is the disease severe in humans and animals?	A.None B.In animals C.In humans D.Both	A.Score = 0 B.Score = 1 C.Score = 2 D.Score = 3
			Severity is determined by case fatality.  Severe: when case fatality, or abortion, is more than 5% in animals or when, in humans, one case fatality.
2	Epidemiological profile (Incidence and Prevalence)	0.22	Has the zoonotic disease caused any outbreak in humans in the last ten years?	A.No B.Yes	A.Score = 0 B.Score = 1
			Definition of the outbreak: any increase in the number of cases above the expected case count in Jordan.  No, the case count does not exceed the normally expected cases in Jordan  Yes, there is an increase in the number of cases above the expected cases in Jordan.
3	Potential transmission (pandemic potentiality)	0.17	Does the disease have the capability of transmission from human-to-human?	A.Never: no reported cases B.Rare: few reported cases C.Sustained: continuously reported cases	A.Score = 0 B.Score = 1 C.Score = 2
			The disease has the capability of transmission from human to human either directly or indirectly, and the answer relies on reported cases.  Human-to-Human means: all modes of transmission except induced-transmission (blood transfusion, needle stick, and organ transplant).
4	Availability of Intervention	0.13	Does the zoonotic disease have control and prevention measures for intervention?	A.None of the measures available B.Some of the measures available C.Most measures available D.All measures available	A.Score = 0 B.Score = 1 C.Score = 2 D.Score = 3
			Measures are diagnostic capacities, vaccination, surveillance, rapid response team, and risk communication.  Available measures do not take higher priority.  Some: one or two measures  Most: 3 to 4  All: all measures available
5	Socio-economic-environmental impact	0.08	Does the disease affect the production, trade, and movement of animals and humans?	A.None B.Only humans C.Only animals D.Both (humans and animals).	A.Score = 0 B.Score = 1 C.Score = 2 D.Score = 3
			None: no effect.  Only animal: decrease animal production and trade, and costly treatment and vaccination.  Only human: decrease in human productivity; affect tourism, costly treatment, and vaccination.  Animal and human: both effects as above.
