Domestic livestock production plays a vital role in human health and nutrition, food security, rural poverty reduction and overall agronomic health (Randolph et al., 2007;Tomley & Shirley, 2009). The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that 40% of the global value of agricultural output is provided by livestock and 1.3 billion people are dependent on livestock for their livelihoods and food security (FAO, 2019a). Emerging and re-emerging pathogens pose a significant threat to livestock industries across the globe, as they can have serious impacts in terms of livestock morbidity and mortality, production losses, consumer demand and costs associated with treatment and control. Some of the most challenging and economically burdensome diseases are those transmitted between wildlife and domestic animals (Miller et al., 2017). Diseases transmitted at the domestic animal-wildlife interface are increasingly challenging
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
