What's the economic impact of drug-resistance? Take a guess. Tomorrow, we unveil groundbreaking research that alters the way we think of antimicrobial resistance and superbugs. Stay tuned. #AMR #StopSuperbugs

Today, we are wondering about the future of illegal wildlife trade. To imagine our role in future animal health and welfare landscapes, we're thinking about complex issues and exploring potential scenarios that would impact WOAH and animal health. This is #32. #WOAH100

Most farm animals are transported at least once during their lifetime. Their welfare during transport is a complex and multi-faceted topic. WOAH has developed standards to help countries ensure animal welfare during transport. In the Observatory's latest survey, we analysed if Veterinary Authorities were implementing WOAH standards on animal welfare during transport. The results are out: woah.org/en/document/do-vete…

In the latest report for the period 5 and 23 August 2024, African swine fever or ASF continues to spread moderately. Here's the latest: - Germany and Ukraine reported foutbreaks - 51 new outbreaks were reported in domestic pigs and 86 in wild boar, in Asia and Europe - 8k domestic pigs were lost due to the disease.

Bacteria and other germs continue to get stronger, making antibiotics less effective. Without action, simple infections could become dangerous for both humans and animals. That’s why it’s so important to use #antibiotics responsibly and protect these precious medicines. #AMR

Today, we're travelling back to when exotic beetles became trendy pets in Japan. #Japan imports many insects for industrial and companion animal purposes. The international transport of insects, however, carries the risk that introduced species may threaten local #ecosystems.

The latest from the #AvianInfluenza situation report for 13/07 - 23/08: - 13 outbreaks in poultry and 52 in non-poultry birds and mammals, in 12 countries in the the Americas, Asia and Europe. - More than 1.6 million poultry birds died or were culled, mostly in the Americas. - The # of new outbreaks notified in birds is currently relatively low, which is consistent with the known seasonality of HPAI in poultry - The public health risk of influenza A(H5N1) viruses has been assessed to be low.

Women make up the majority of those caring for animals. The revenue they generate from rearing of animals often contributes to nutrition & child education. When PPR strikes, women & their offspring are impacted. Eliminating PPR can empower women and give children better futures.

In episode 3, we shine the light on a foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in 2001 that took a terrible toll on the #UK. UK's 2001 FMD outbreak, devastating in its impact, is proof that dealing with disease outbreaks requires a whole-of-government response. Since the outbreak, working collaboratively with other government agencies in their prevention efforts has paid off for the UK.

The highlights from our latest African swine fever (ASF) report for 15 July - 4 August, 2024: - No new outbreak was reported by the Americas, Africa, or Oceania. - 60 new outbreaks in domestic pigs and 98 in wild boar, in Asia and Europe. - The situation in Bhutan is deteriorating; the disease has spread to new areas. - 6k domestic pigs have died as a result of ASF.

For the second time, the United Nations General Assembly will convene a High-Level Meeting on #Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) during its 79th session. The theme of the meeting is “Investing in the present and securing our future together: Accelerating multi-sectoral global, regional and national actions to address Antimicrobial Resistance.” Sign up for the global #media briefing on 11th September 2024, Wednesday, featuring a high-level panel of experts from the Quadripartite, @FAO , @WHO, @UNEP and WOAH: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi…

Ensuring the responsible and prudent use of #antimicrobials in fish farming and aquaculture is a major challenge. Over the past 30 years #Norway has successfully applied scientific innovation and implemented key legislation to achieve this objective in salmon production.

Today, we are wondering about the future of #bees. To imagine our role in future animal health & welfare landscapes, we're thinking about complex issues and exploring possible scenarios that would impact WOAH and Veterinary Services. This is #42. #WOAH100

Since the start of 2021, 35 detections of #AvianInfluenza in humans have been reported to WHO, along with five cases in persons exposed to infected animals. Where do we stand now? Read our latest report for detailed information in collaboration with @fao and @who.
