“…Various international organizations and leaders have stressed the importance of fair vaccine distribution. The WHO Director-General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has been vocal about the necessity of ensuring that vaccines reach every part of the world ( Keestra et al, 2022 ). Recognizing that the virus knows no borders, the global community must unite in the fight against COVID-19, and this starts with fair access to vaccines.…”

The increasing frequency of zoonotic spillover events and viral mutations in low and middle-income countries presents a critical global health challenge. Contributing factors encompass cultural practices like bushmeat consumption, wildlife trade for traditional medicine, habitat disruption, and the encroachment of impoverished settlements onto natural habitats. The existing “vaccine gap” in many developing countries exacerbates the situation by allowing unchecked viral replication and the emergence of novel mutant viruses. Despite global health policies addressing the root causes of zoonotic disease emergence, there is a significant absence of concrete prevention-oriented initiatives, posing a potential risk to vulnerable populations. This article is targeted at policymakers, public health professionals, researchers, and global health stakeholders, particularly those engaged in zoonotic disease prevention and control in low and middle-income countries. The article underscores the importance of assessing potential zoonotic diseases at the animal-human interface and comprehending historical factors contributing to spillover events. To bridge policy gaps, comprehensive strategies are proposed that include education, collaborations, specialized task forces, environmental sampling, and the establishment of integrated diagnostic laboratories. These strategies advocate simplicity and unity, breaking down barriers, and placing humanity at the forefront of addressing global health challenges. Such a strategic and mental shift is crucial for constructing a more resilient and equitable world in the face of emerging zoonotic threats.

“…Furthermore, the social responsibility and sustainable development of university patenting may also be a future research agenda. Especially during public crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains to be seen whether the university's rights under the Bayh-Dole Act to patents derived from government funding should be limited [22], [96].…”

Knowledge transfer in university-industry collaboration (KTUIC) has been a hot issue of concern in recent years. Based on 874 articles published in the core collection of Web of Science, this paper conducts an in-depth bibliometric and visual analysis in terms of literature distribution, cooperation network, co-citation, knowledge base, and research hotspots analysis. The results show that the number of annual publications has shown an approximate exponential growth in the past decades. The UK is the most critical node in cross-border cooperation. Alessandro Muscio, with 11 publications, and Henry Etzkowitz, with 793 citations, are the most prolific and cited authors respectively. Research Policy has the highest frequency of citations. The knowledge base of KTUIC includes UIC and knowledge transfer, basic theories of U-I relationships, university TTOs, Bayh-Dole Act and university patenting, and individuals in university technology transfer. Research hotspots mainly focus on the related issues of third mission and entrepreneurial universities. Additionally, we also propose the future research agenda of KTUIC from the perspective of five knowledge bases. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the development status and core issues in KTUIC, and offer valuable guidance for future research directions.INDEX TERMS knowledge transfer in university-industry collaboration (KTUIC), knowledge transfer, university-industry collaboration, bibliometric analysis, visual analysis

“…Especially regarding crises of a global scale, like the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be appropriate to tailor IP policies in terms of public health requirements 111 . In this view, various tools have been developed, such as patent pools or equitable licensing strategies of universities that are applicable to the bottom-up assembly of viruses [112][113][114] . Therefore, the ethical dimension of synthetic virion research involves the assessment of benefits and risks concerning patenting and licensing strategies.…”
