“…It is expected that the sudden restriction on human activities and the economic crisis will affect farming and veterinary services, and therefore, affect animal health (6). The COVID-19 outbreak negatively disrupted activities related to livestock welfare.…”

“…Indeed, calls to stay at home and social distance have affected the humanitariandependent services in farms, affecting the routine work and animal husbandry (low number of laborers, veterinarian visits and services, and workers in product processing). Additionally, processing of animal products, such as milk and meat (delivery failure and decreasing processing and slaughtering capacities), presents another obstacle to the completion of the production cycle, forcing farmers to reduce production capacity and waste products (6). The pandemic's impact on the livestock supply chain continue to affect local and global marketing process (reduced marketing opportunities, block of import/export activity, and lower purchasing power) and consumers' , demand (misconception regarding animal products safety and reduced consumers' income).…”

“…All these elements will evoke differentiated impacts, putting many people at risk of poverty and food insecurity (3). As a result, many economic activities and industrial sectors are, and will be, negatively affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, of which the livestock sector and related industries are among the most impacted (4,6).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the emergence of a new strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) around the end of December 2019, has caused a worldwide public health emergency and a socioeconomic crisis during 2020. The lockdown imposed to cope with the health issues caused by the outbreak of the disease has dramatically challenged and negatively affected all the economic sectors of the modern global economy. Specifically, the livestock sector and its related industries are among the most impacted sectors. This is mainly ascribed to the limitations of animal movement and the decrease of production inputs' availability. Other factors negatively affecting the sustainability of the livestock sector have been the shortage of workers due to the lockdown/curfew, the strong decrease in the purchasing power of the consumer, and the intensification of health care tasks. Such an impact is not only highly relevant because of their economic consequences, but also because of the effects of the lockdown and sanitary rules on animal care and welfare. The current review aims to offer: (a) a comprehensive overview of the impact of COVID-19 on the welfare of farm animals and on the performance of livestock farming systems, on food chain sustainability, and finally, on the global economy and food security; and (b) a prospective outline of alleviation actions.

Vaccination with Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) constituted a major advance in the prevention of human tuberculosis (TB) in the beginning of the past century. BCG has also a clear potential for use in animals and, in particular, in the main domestic species subjected to TB control programs, cattle. Nowadays, the use of BCG vaccination against TB in cattle is not permitted by European Union legislation because BCG can induce a cellular immune response producing diagnostic interference in the eradication programs based on tuberculin single and comparative intradermal tests imposed worldwide. In this review, we recall the history of TB vaccination as well as different vaccine trials and the response to vaccination in both domestic and wild animals. Promising potential inactivated vaccines are also reviewed. Research studies are mainly focused to improve vaccine efficacy, and at the same time to ensure its easy administration, safety and stability in the environment. Great challenges remain, particularly in terms of vaccine candidates and also in the acceptance of vaccination. Vaccination should be included in a strategic plan for integrated control of TB under a “one health” perspective, which also includes other measures such as improved biosafety on farms to avoid or decrease contact between domestic and wild animals or control of wildlife reservoirs to avoid overabundance that may favor infection maintenance.

“…Veterinary practice closure might affect other important animal related diseases in the region. Indeed, the COVID‐19 control measures might result in other animal health problems 6 . A serious consideration should be given to diseases that can affect both animal and human health.…”
