Synopsis (short abstract) The Emergency Prevention System (EMPRES), established in 1994, is the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) flagship programme to prevent food chain crises, with the goal of enhancing world food security and fighting transboundary animal and plant pests and diseases. EMPRES-Animal Health is the component dealing with the effective prevention and control of transboundary animal, zoonotic and emerging diseases on a regional and global basis, through international cooperation involving early warning, rapid reaction, enabling research and coordination. The latest issue of the component’s flagship publication, EMPRES-Animal Health 360, is available now. This issue explores a range of topics related to the continued threat transboundary animal and zoonotic diseases pose to food security, livelihoods and global health. It highlights efforts being made to address high-impact diseases including avian influenza, African swine fever and lumpy skin disease. In addition to providing analyses and lessons learned from disease outbreaks and responses carried out in Cameroon, Mongolia and Viet Nam, this issue highlights how FAO initiatives and tools, such as the EMPRES Global Animal Disease Information System (EMPRES-i+) and the Virtual Learning Centers, are increasing animal health capacity at the global, regional and national level.
