“…Health concerns are no longer confined to the over-nourished and 'worried well' in rich countries. For example, widespread media coverage resulted in a 70 per cent drop in poultry consumption before a single human or avian case was reported there, and in Viet Nam, financial losses ranging from $70 to 108 per farm were attributed mainly to the drop in consumer demand (Rushton et al 2005). The evidence for impacts of pandemics is strong: animal plagues have wiped out livestock populations and caused the collapse of communities depending on them (Maddox 2006) and numerous economic studies have estimated the costs of epidemics (e.g.…”

Poverty is now at the heart of development discourse; we discuss how it is measured and understood. We next consider the negative and positive impacts of livestock on pro-poor development. Taking a value-chain approach that includes keepers, users and eaters of livestock, we identify diseases that are road blocks on the 'three livestock pathways out of poverty'. We discuss livestock impacts on poverty reduction and review attempts to prioritize the livestock diseases relevant to the poor. We make suggestions for metrics that better measure disease impact and show the benefits of more rigorous evaluation before reviewing recent attempts to measure the importance of disease to the poor. High impact of a disease does not guarantee high benefits from its control; other factors must be taken into consideration, including technical feasibility and political desirability. We conclude by considering how we might better understand and exploit the roles of livestock and improved animal health by posing three speculative questions on the impact of livestock diseases and their control on global poverty: how can understanding livestock and poverty links help disease control?; if global poverty reduction was the aim of livestock disease control, how would it differ from the current model?; and how much of the impact of livestock disease on poverty is due to disease control policy rather than disease itself?

Research suggested that human infection with the novel avian influenza virus might be derived from live poultry markets. The sale of freshly slaughtered poultry, live poultry transportation, and mixed trading of different domestic animals in the live poultry markets all provide environments conducive to genome segment reassortment, gene mutation, and interspecies transmission of avian influenza virus. Production methods, human lifestyle, and the earth environment have been dramatically altered owning to rapid expansion of cities, industrialization, transportation, and accelerated population growth, in contrast to preserving traditional culture. People are exposed to the double burden of continued increasing incidence and mortality of the disease. In response to the huge challenge in the transmission of the disease, especially to prevent the spread of future avian influenza outbreaks, changing lifestyle and production habit should partly control the spread of the infections such as temporally closing live poultry markets, together with efforts to control the movement of illegal poultry products and wild birds. It is anticipated that by constantly seeking better solutions new models of living and development throughout society will gradually come into being.

“…1 Among the many diseases, avian influenza (AI) virus and Marek disease (MD) virus cause severe losses. [2][3][4] Control of avian influenza virus (AIV) infections in poultry remains a major challenge to animal and public health and the world economy. 5,6 Avian influenza outbreaks in poultry are caused primarily by H5, H7 and H9 subtype viruses that naturally exist as low pathogenicity (LP) phenotypes in wild aquatic birds.…”
