Abstract

Newly emerging infectious diseases are vital issues that impact global health, social stability, economic development, and national security. While infectious disease prevention and control is a highly practical discipline, effective theoretical guidance remains indispensable in infectious disease prevention and control practices. During the past three years of responding to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we have observed that the traditional “Three-Step Two-Factor” theory is not sufficient to meet the contemporary societal needs for newly emerging infectious disease prevention and control. Building upon years of experience in responding to infectious diseases, we have innovatively developed the “Triangle Model” theory for the prevention and control of infectious diseases. This model has been successfully applied in China's practices and management decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic. We introduce the definition, characteristics of the “Triangle Model” theory, as well as shared practical experience in China, to provide a theoretical reference for future prevention and control of newly emerging infectious diseases in China and other countries.

新发传染病预防控制的“三角模型”理论：定义、特点和中国经验

新出现的传染病是影响全球健康、社会稳定、经济发展和国家安全的重要问题。虽然传染病防治是一门实践性很强的学科，但在传染病防治实践中，有效的理论指导仍然不可或缺。在过去三年应对2019冠状病毒病（新冠肺炎）大流行的过程中，我们观察到传统的“三步两因素”理论不足以满足当代社会对新出现的传染病预防和控制的需求。在多年应对传染病经验的基础上，我们创新性地发展了传染病预防和控制的“三角模型”理论。该模型已成功应用于新冠肺炎疫情期间中国的实践和管理决策。我们介绍了“三角模型”理论的定义、特点，以及中国的共同实践经验，为未来中国和其他国家新发传染病的防控提供理论参考。
