Emerging issues threaten animal agriculture.

STAR IDAZ Approach

The risk of emergence of pathogens has increased as a consequence of global changes in the way food is produced, moved and consumed. Rapid detection and response to emerging diseases are critical to animal agriculture because these diseases threaten the livelihood of producers. Rapid and effective response can also prevent or limit negative impacts on animal health, the economy, food security, and public health.

STAR IDAZ IRC focuses on facilitating international collaboration and coordinated responses to emerging diseases and issues, to reduce duplication, speed up response and support the faster development of control tools.

Working group

Emerging Issues

For Emerging Issues, STAR IDAZ aims to act as an ad-hoc ‘real time’ early warning group to foster international collaboration and promote a coordinated response amongst the IRC Partners. STAR IDAZ provides opportunities to share information and knowledge, and share lessons learned from previous outbreaks to explore future preparedness strategies.

STAR IDAZ collaborates with other organisations and projects working in this area and disseminates resources to IRC Partners to support research coordination. Further activities are envisaged in the future.

Research roadmaps

Gap analysis summary

Due to the scope of this Priority Topic research roadmaps will not be developed. However, research is required to support more effective surveillance, monitoring, and preparedness and to develop control tools and methods.
