The Economic Impact of Emergency Animal Diseases: Assessing Costs and Mitigation Strategies

Abstract

Angelo Rosso

Emergency animal diseases (EADs) can have significant economic consequences, affecting livestock production, trade, and food security. Understanding the economic impact of EADs is crucial for informing policy decisions and implementing effective mitigation strategies. This review examines the economic impact of EADs, assessing costs associated with disease outbreaks and exploring mitigation strategies to minimize economic losses. By synthesizing existing literature and case studies, the review highlights the importance of proactive surveillance, early detection, and rapid response measures in mitigating the economic impact of EADs. Key factors influencing economic losses, such as trade restrictions, production disruptions, and public perception, are also discussed.
