Descripción
Livestock is important in supporting livelihoods in the Near East and North Africa ( region Diseases affecting livestock have a devastating impact on animal productivity and production, as well as on human health and, consequently, on the overall process of economic development Foot and mouth disease ( Peste des petits ruminants ( and Middle East respiratory syndrome Coronavirus (MERS CoV are among the diseases present in the NENA region In addition, globalization and climate change represent risk factors that contribute to the increase in emerging and re emerging animal and zoonotic diseases Transboundary animal diseases ( are a common concern among NENA countries, as they threaten local food production and country economies While capacity building programmes ( surveillance, and control) for veterinary services on the prevention and control of TADs have been implemented in the region, these have not translated to a higher number of coordinated action across countries This is due to the lack of timely information on various diseases, their movement across borders, and their potential impacts at the regional level The lack of information limits decision making and does not allow for early action.
