A cure for all 🧪

Fighting animal diseases isn’t only about saving herds… According to a new research study published by the Lancet Planetary Health, international efforts should focus on developing control tools for priority infectious diseases of animals – they’re a global problem and a prerequisite for global health, so action is necessary to secure a safer planet for humans, animals, and the environment.

• Progress is needed across a wide range of zoonotic, endemic, epidemic, and pandemic diseases. 

• The priorities include Nipah virus infection, African swine fever, foot and mouth disease, and bovine tuberculosis. 

• 🌐 The lack of tools at present can have a significant impact on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
