Mapping Of Poverty And Likely Zoonoses Hotspots
Zoonoses are diseases that can be transmitted between species, and are a major threat to the health of humans and animals. Every year, 13 zoonoses result in 2.4 billion instances of human illness and 2.2 million human deaths. Most cases of zoonoses occur in countries with low or middle incomes. This report identified zoonoses ‘hotspots’, and discussed links between poverty, malnourishment, keeping livestock, and zoonoses. An increase in global demand for products from livestock animals is likely to result in an increase in the spread of these infectious diseases.
Article Abstract: “The objective of this report is to present data and expert knowledge on poverty and zoonoses hotspots to inform prioritisation of study areas on the transmission of disease in emerging livestock systems in the developing world, where prevention of zoonotic disease might bring greatest benefit to poor people.”
