Emergency animal diseases (EADs) can have significant economic consequences, affecting livestock production, trade, and food security. Understanding the economic impact of EADs is crucial for informing policy decisions and implementing effective mitigation strategies. This review examines the economic impact of EADs, assessing costs associated with disease outbreaks and exploring mitigation strategies to minimize economic losses. By synthesizing existing literature and case studies, the review highlights the importance of proactive surveillance, early detection, and rapid response measures in mitigating the economic impact of EADs. Key factors influencing economic losses, such as trade restrictions, production disruptions, and public perception, are also discussed.

The One Health approach advocates for the integration of human, animal, and environmental health systems to address complex health challenges, including emergency disease preparedness. This review explores the application of the One Health approach in emergency disease preparedness, focusing on the integration of human and animal health systems. By synthesizing existing literature and case studies, the review highlights the benefits of collaboration between human and animal health sectors in early detection, rapid response, and effective management of emerging infectious diseases. Key principles and strategies for implementing a One Health approach in emergency disease preparedness are discussed, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, surveillance, and communication networks in mitigating the impact of health crises on both human and animal populations.

Emergency animal diseases pose significant threats to global food security, public health, and economic stability. Understanding the emergence, transmission, and impact of these diseases is crucial for effective mitigation and control measures. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of emerging threats in animal health, highlighting the importance of surveillance, early detection, and rapid response strategies. By elucidating key principles and case studies, this review aims to inform policymakers, veterinarians, and stakeholders on the critical steps needed to mitigate the risks associated with emergency animal diseases. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges faced in managing these diseases, such as inadequate resources and limited laboratory capacity, and proposes solutions to enhance preparedness and resilience against emerging threats.

Emergency animal diseases (EADs) pose significant threats to global agriculture, public health, and economic stability. Effective surveillance and rapid response strategies are essential for mitigating the impact of these diseases. This review provides an overview of global surveillance and response strategies for EADs. It examines the key components of surveillance systems, including passive and active surveillance, and discusses the importance of early detection and reporting. The review also explores international collaboration mechanisms and response frameworks for managing EAD outbreaks. By synthesizing existing literature and case studies, this review aims to inform policymakers, veterinarians, and stakeholders on best practices for enhancing surveillance and response capacities to address the challenges posed by EADs.
