Re-)emerging zoonoses Intensive livestock rearing practices facilitate the (re)-emergence of zoonotic diseases by interfering with the ecological balance between microorganisms and their mammalian hosts. This interference can lead to changes in virulence, host spectrum and/or other characteristics of the disease agent. However, the impact of these re-emerging diseases has been dramatically reduced as a result of improved hygiene and animal husbandry practices. Overall, new diseases have been detected at a rate of one per year over the past thirty years.
Secondly, the “collateral damage” to other sectors of the economy can be considerably larger than that carried by producers. Estimation of the total cost of disease outbreaks, and its dispersion across the different sectors, can be difficult. However, the economic impact of the most recent large scale disease epidemic, FMD in the UK, 2001, has been carefully analysed (DEFRA/DCMS 2002). The outbreak began on a pig farm in the North of England in February 2001, and lasted for 221 days. 4 million pigs) were slaughtered.
Most of these costs fell on sectors outside of agriculture. 5 billion a year) as a result of any disease control policy that would make use of vaccination. Livestock epidemics Trade facilitates the movement of animal diseases. Large numbers of susceptible livestock, kept at high stocking densities are extremely vulnerable to the introduction of highly contagious diseases such as FMD, CSF or Newcastle disease, demonstrated by the recent outbreaks of CSF in Germany and Holland and FMD in the UK and Argentina.
