Mission and Vision

Through collaboration the STAR IDAZ community can speed up the delivery of disease control tools and strategies.

STAR IDAZ aims to strengthen the linkages between and reduce the duplication of global research effort on high priority infectious diseases of animals (including zoonoses), maximise the efficient use of expertise and resources, and accelerate coordinated development of control methods.

STAR IDAZ Scope

The scope of STAR IDAZ includes coordination of research relevant to emerging and major infectious diseases of livestock and aquatic animals, and those infections of animals that may carry the risk of disease threat to human health.
