Abstract

Catherine Leonor

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.
