Rinderpest, a devastating cattle disease, was successfully eradicated through a global programme. Our future abilities to detect and combat emerging animal and human diseases depend on our willingness to learn from experience. Man-made changes to wildlife-livestock-human interfaces increase the risk that pathogens may find new host species and lead to pandemics, such as the SARS-CoV-2.

Experience has shown that effective disease control is based on access to adequate funding, diagnostic tools, and good cooperation between stakeholders at all levels. This requires excellent communication skills and well-established contacts already in ”peace time”.
