No results found.The Crisis Management Centre – Animal Health deploys rapid response missions to assist countries experiencing animal health emergencies. Affected countries require support in containing disease outbreaks, as well as preparing for future emergencies. If not dealt with swiftly, diseases affecting animal populations can have a devastating impact on the livelihoods of many populations, in animal productivity, trade and food security. The CMC-AH, based in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), works with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) to provide support for governments experiencing animal disease outbreaks. The Centre deploys mission teams of experts to affected governments, assisting them in assessing epidemiological situations, diagnostics and prevention and control strategies. From October 2012 – September 2014, the CMC-AH deployed 12 rapid response missions to investigate and assist with new epidemiological situations and outbreaks including, peste des petits ruminants (PPR), contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), Rift Valley fever (RVF), rabies, Newcastle disease (ND), highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and foot and mouth disease (FMD). -

Executive Summary
2022Also available in:
No results found.Investing in One Health – cross-sectoral, multidisciplinary coordination and collaboration across the human health, animal health, and environmental health sectors – is crucial for maintaining healthy agricultural and food systems and addressing global health security risks. Such action can reduce the threat of future pandemics through upstream preventive actions, early detection, and agile responses to zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases outbreaks, coupled with measures for promoting food safety, includinganti-microbial resistance. This regional review, conducted jointly by the World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, assesses the socioeconomic impacts of zoonotic diseases and epidemics across the East Asia and Pacific region, providing a background on why emerging infectious diseases are occurring more frequently in this region. This review looks at the benefits of using a risk-based approach, assesses the management of animal and wildlife health and the ability to identify and respond to emerging threats and protect the health, agricultural production, and ecosystem services. It provides recommendations on priority activities to be undertaken, and offers governments and their development partners the evidence and analysis needed to make more and better investments in wildlife systems and animal health to improve global health security. -
