“…The low seroprevalence of brucellosis may be contributed by the high manufacturers recommended S/P% cut point (≥120%) of the ELISA test [ 2 ] or local livestock raising practices of a non-intensive, pasture grazing system [ 24 ]. The impacts of brucellosis [ 25 ] and Q fever [ 26 ] on human health in Southeast Asia were not well-established with some publications on case reports in neighbouring countries (e.g., Thailand and Vietnam). Only one study in Lao PDR on seroprevalence of B. melitensis and C. burnetii of 30 hospital patients with endocarditis was identified [ 27 ].…”

Although animal health surveillance programmes are useful for gaining information to help improve global health and food security, these programmes can be challenging to establish in developing economies with a low-resource base. This study focused on establishing a national surveillance system initiated by the Lao PDR government using a passive surveillance system of abattoir samples as a pilot model, and to gain information on contagious zoonoses, particularly Q fever and brucellosis, in the large ruminant population. A total of 683 cattle and buffalo samples were collected from six selected provinces of Lao PDR between March–December 2019. Out of 271 samples tested, six samples (2.2%, 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.0, 4.8) were positive in the Q fever antibody ELISA test. Only one sample (out of 683; 0.2%, 95% CI 0.0, 0.8) tested positive to the Brucella antibody ELISA test. Seroprevalence of these important zoonoses in Lao PDR were relatively low in cattle and buffaloes; however, extensive animal movement within the country was identified which could increase risks of spreading transboundary diseases. The study highlights the importance of ongoing animal health surveillance and the need to find cost-effective approaches for its long-term sustainability.

“…Nearly 50% of animal products globally are produced in Asia, with a heavy concentration in China (Aiyar and Pingali 2020) 13 . Livestock farming is common in most Southeast Asian nations (except Singapore and Brunei) with 50% of households in the region involved with livestock, particularly chickens; 60% of overall livestock production is maintained by smallholder farms, which makes monitoring and preventing disease outbreaks difficult (Hassan 2014). In general, this dietary transformation has been facilitated by shifting away from free-range animal rearing near urban centers towards capital-intensive, monoculture, and highyield models that favor vertical integration with an emphasis on contract farming where workers and livestock are confined to production facilities together (Silbergeld 2019).…”

Pandemics have occurred with increasing frequency over the past century as global travel enables rapid cross-continental transmission of viral zoonoses such as coronaviruses and influenzas. Yet the prevalence of global pandemics is also attributable to an increase in the number of these infectious diseases originating in wildlife or domesticated animals in Asia that jump to human hosts. Through a review of scholarly literature, this article argues that three interrelated land use phenomena—biodiversity loss, urbanization, agricultural expansion and intensification—in southern China and Southeast Asia have enabled past viral zoonotic ‘spillover’ events from animals to humans and make future pandemics more likely. Furthermore, much recent scholarly literature on zoonotic disease adopts the One Health framework, which highlights interdependency between viruses, animals, ecosystems, and human health. As such, we review and critique the salience of the One Health framework for research on zoonotic disease in Asia. We suggest that to better understand land use changes enabling zoonotic disease emergence, future health-environment research could incorporate qualitative, cross-scalar political-economic and political ecological dynamics within which human-wildlife relations are embedded.

“…Zoonoses originating from livestock and wildlife represent a significant public health threat, and combatting their emergence is a public health and economic priority. Deforestation and habitat degradation and fragmentation, together with encroachment of livestock production into wild animal habitats, have enhanced zoonotic disease transmission through increased livestock-wildlife-human interface (Hassan 2014;Loh et al 2015;. The frequency of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) of livestock (for example, SARS/Avian flu and swine flu/H1N1) and particularly of wildlife origin (for example, MERS, Ebola, HPAI) is increasing exponentially 7 ).…”
