“…Understanding the financial cost of diseases that compromise animal production and welfare is important, providing a baseline for comparison of husbandry systems, risk factors and interventions [40]. Eimeria are the most economically significant parasites of poultry but their true cost to producers remains unclear.…”

“…In the future, understanding the broader contribution of Eimeria infection and coccidiosis to overall health burdens in chickens will underpin improved estimates of true economic cost beyond the absolute figures provided here. Projects such as the Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) aim to explore this topic, establishing baseline figures for production of livestock in the absence of pathogens and defining the consequences of infection [40].…”

Coccidiosis, caused by Eimeria species parasites, has long been recognised as an economically significant disease of chickens. As the global chicken population continues to grow, and its contribution to food security intensifies, it is increasingly important to assess the impact of diseases that compromise chicken productivity and welfare. In 1999, Williams published one of the most comprehensive estimates for the cost of coccidiosis in chickens, featuring a compartmentalised model for the costs of prophylaxis, treatment and losses, indicating a total cost in excess of £38 million in the United Kingdom (UK) in 1995. In the 25 years since this analysis the global chicken population has doubled and systems of chicken meat and egg production have advanced through improved nutrition, husbandry and selective breeding of chickens, and wider use of anticoccidial vaccines. Using data from industry representatives including veterinarians, farmers, production and health experts, we have updated the Williams model and estimate that coccidiosis in chickens cost the UK £99.2 million in 2016 (range £73.0–£125.5 million). Applying the model to data from Brazil, Egypt, Guatemala, India, New Zealand, Nigeria and the United States resulted in estimates that, when extrapolated by geographical region, indicate a global cost of ~ £10.4 billion at 2016 prices (£7.7–£13.0 billion), equivalent to £0.16/chicken produced. Understanding the economic costs of livestock diseases can be advantageous, providing baselines to evaluate the impact of different husbandry systems and interventions. The updated cost of coccidiosis in chickens will inform debates on the value of chemoprophylaxis and development of novel anticoccidial vaccines.

“…Fewer data are available on the economic burden, although estimates have been made for some countries, for example, the USA [46]. Estimates of economic burden of various zoonotic foodborne diseases, including parasites, are likely to be outcomes of the Global Burden of Animal Disease initiative [47]. Good estimates of the impact (public health outcomes and economic effects) of FBPs will enable calculation of cost-benefits and cost effectiveness of intervention strategies to reduce their burden.…”

Although foodborne parasites (FBPs) are becoming recognized as important foodborne pathogens, they remain neglected compared with bacterial and viral foodborne pathogens. As drivers for infection with FBPs are variable, it is often unclear for funding bodies where research should be prioritized. Through a COST Action (Euro-FBP; FA1408), we harnessed Europe-wide expertise to address these questions, using an Expert Knowledge Elicitation approach. Eating habits, lack of food-chain control, lack of awareness from relevant agencies, globalization, and water quality were identified as major drivers for FBP infection. Prioritized research needs to be largely focused on methodological gaps, but also on surveillance concerns, impact-assessment issues, and the role of microbiota. Despite the European focus, these responses should be relevant to those concerned with FBPs globally. Foodborne Parasites in Europe: What Are the Issues? Highlights FBPs remain neglected despite increasing recognition of their importance as foodborne pathogens.

“…The economic burden of animal diseases is recognized to be substantial. Disease characteristics, the susceptibility of animal populations and environmental factors determine rates of infection, mortality, and impacts on productivity in animals and may directly, in the case of zoonoses, 1 affect human health (Rushton et al 2018). Meanwhile, loss of livestock, trade, decreased market value, food insecurity, environmental impacts, and efforts to respond to animal diseases all come at considerable costs to livelihoods and both public and private sector interests (Barratt et al 2019).…”
