Animal Health at the Crossroads: Preventing, Detecting, and Diagnosing Animal Diseases
Synopsis
The confirmed case of "mad cow" disease (BSE) in June 2005 illustrates
the economic impact of disease outbreaks, as additional countries
closed their markets to U.S. beef and beef products. Emerging diseases
also threaten public health - 11 out of 12 of the major global disease
outbreaks over the last decade were from zoonotic agents (that spread
from animals to humans). "Animal Health at the Crossroads: Preventing,
Detecting, and Diagnosing Animal Diseases" finds that, in general, the
U.S. animal health framework has been slow to take advantage of
state-of-the-art technologies being used now to protect public health;
better diagnostic tests for identifying all animal diseases should be
made a priority. The report also recommends that the nation establish a
high-level, authoritative, and accountable coordinating mechanism to
engage and enhance partnerships among local, state, and federal
agencies, and the private sector.
