The meeting was organized to support sharing information on disease situations, assess progress in disease control, and promote regional coordination and cooperation to address the impact of these three priority transboundary animal diseases (TADs) in South Asia. The report includes summaries of disease situations and a review of progress in their control in the region, and lists recommendations to mitigate the impact of these diseases and improve their control in South Asia. Key challenges identified during the meeting included knowledge gaps, limited vaccine quality control, and the lack of cross-border coordination. To address these challenges, participants advocated for more harmonized and holistic approaches to TADs control and management.
