“…To effectively address issues with global health, this paradigm was embraced (Bidaisee et al 2014). To assure good health for animals, people, and our environment, the one health concept promotes cooperation among wildlife biologists, veterinarians, doctors, agriculturists, ecologists, microbiologists, epidemiologists, and biomedical engineers (Aenishaenslin et al 2013;Dahal et al 2014;One health. 2020).…”

Global health security, economic stability, and biodiversity conservation are seriously threatened by transboundary zoonotic diseases, which are transmissible diseases that can transfer from animals to humans over international borders. Transboundary zoonoses have become more prevalent in recent years as a result of the intricate interactions between urbanization, the destruction of animal habitats, intensive agriculture, international commerce, and climate change. These diseases have the potential for fast worldwide spread and devastating effects, as shown by well-known examples like avian influenza, Ebola, and COVID-19. An interdisciplinary approach that integrates epidemiology, ecology, veterinary medicine, public health, and socio-political sciences is required to comprehend the dynamics of transboundary zoonoses. In order to prevent and contain epidemics, it is crucial to build early detection and surveillance systems as well as efficient response systems. Additionally, risk communication and community involvement are essential for promoting collaboration between authorities, medical specialists, academics, and the general public. A key area for the spread of zoonotic diseases is the intersection of wild and domestic animals with humans. The management of transboundary zoonoses is intimately related to efforts to conserve biodiversity, highlighting the need of preserving intact ecosystems and reducing human activities that result in habitat degradation and animal trafficking. Given that transboundary zoonoses have the capacity to cross borders and damage many countries at once, international cooperation is essential in combating them. In order to do this, it is necessary to coordinate response activities, share data, resources, and knowledge, as well as facilitate technology transfer and capacity development in underdeveloped areas. This chapter examines the idea of transboundary zoonosis, highlighting its effects on the environment, global collaboration, and the health of people and animals. This chapter attempts to offer insights into managing the complex danger of transboundary zoonoses by looking at case studies and talking about prevention and control techniques.

“…Zoonotic diseases are transmitted to humans in many ways such as direct contacts (animal bites, infected saliva, and scratches), inhalation (breathing in airborne spores or organisms), food animals, drinking unpasteurized dairy product, vectors like mosquitoes, tick, fleas, and lice's (Rojan Dahal, 2014;Olival et al, 2017). Indirect contacts with items in areas where animals live and roam or with objects or surfaces contaminated with germs.…”

Zoonoses are infectious diseases that are spread between animals and people. These diseases are transmitted to humans in many ways, such as direct contacts, indirect contacts, vector-borne, foodborne, and inhalation. Translocation and introduction of animals to new geographic regions correspond to increased human global travel and commerce as underlying factors for infectious disease emergence. In this review, we examined some potential notable driving mechanism of zoonosis in Nigeria. The population explodes, and demand for animal products has resulted in the expansion of animal trade, both local and international, animal and human movements, and intensification of livestock production systems. The above mentioned have an indirect role in zoonotic disease distribution. Animal husbandry, wildlife hunting, and hunting with dogs are potential routes of parasite translocation, most notably when infected animals are killed. Zoonotic diseases cause severe economic loss in the pathogenic spoilage of milk, contaminated animal products, carcass quality, weight loss, infertility, and loss of animal population. The cost of disease control decreases in household income due to a reduction in livestock/product sales. Also, consumption impacts due to reduced food availability, increased household vulnerability where livestock is used as a risk-coping mechanism, and effects on household finance, which influences household savings. Our suggestions for future effective zoonoses control include, an improved surveillance system, well-structured quarantine services, institutionalized one health approach, public enlightenment, interdisciplinary research, and ultimately a strict conservation rules and regulation may be turned into law to avoid transmission of Zoonosis through the consumption of wild animal which is most reservoir of causative pathogen.

Data distribution in public veterinary service: health and safety challenges push for context-aware systems

et al. 2017

BackgroundToday’s globalised and interconnected world is characterized by intertwined and quickly evolving relationships between animals, humans and their environment and by an escalating number of accessible data for public health. The public veterinary services must exploit new modeling and decision strategies to face these changes. The organization and control of data flows have become crucial to effectively evaluate the evolution and safety concerns of a given situation in the territory. This paper discusses what is needed to develop modern strategies to optimize data distribution to the stakeholders.Main textIf traditionally the system manager and knowledge engineer have been concerned with the increase of speed of data flow and the improvement of data quality, nowadays they need to worry about data overflow as well. To avoid this risk an information system should be capable of selecting the data which need to be shown to the human operator. In this perspective, two aspects need to be distinguished: data classification vs data distribution. Data classification is the problem of organizing data depending on what they refer to and on the way they are obtained; data distribution is the problem of selecting which data is accessible to which stakeholder. Data classification can be established and implemented via ontological analysis and formal logic but we claim that a context-based selection of data should be integrated in the data distribution application. Data distribution should provide these new features: (a) the organization of situation types distinguishing at least ordinary vs extraordinary scenarios (contextualization of scenarios); (b) the possibility to focus on the data that are really important in a given scenario (data contextualization by scenarios); and (c) the classification of which data is relevant to which stakeholder (data contextualization by users).Short conclusionPublic veterinary services, to efficaciously and efficiently manage the information needed for today’s health and safety challenges, should contextualize and filter the continuous and growing flow of data by setting suitable frameworks to classify data, users’ roles and possible situations.
