Transboundary animal diseases (TADs) such as avian influenza, bluetongue virus, and foot-and-mouth disease pose serious risks to animal health, livestock production, and public health. Past outbreaks have exposed gaps in disease awareness and preparedness, with farmers often bearing the greatest impact. Effective prevention, through international collaboration, biosecurity, vaccination, and surveillance, requires coordinated action to stop the spread and support eradication efforts.
