🦇 The impact of losing insectivorous #bats is a stark reminder: wildlife health is essential to our own. Bats and bees are essential pollinators, small mammals maintain soil health, coral reefs produce oxygen and capture carbon, fruit-eaters disperse seeds, and predators help control the populations of other species. Animal health is everyone’s health. #NumberOfTheWeek Learn more about the importance of wildlife health: https://lnkd.in/dQPuv5Jk

In July 2024, the contagious Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPR) was detected for the first time in Greece and Romania. Prior to this detection, both countries have been historically free of the disease. The viral infection poses a significant threat to sheep, goats and certain wild ungulates. The disease severely impacts dairy and meat production but is not transmissible to humans. As of 9 August 2024, Greece reported 47 outbreaks, with over 2000 cases, while Romania notified 56 outbreaks, with over 5000 cases.

The idea of One Health has long recognised that the health of humans, animals and the environment are interlinked. Unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemical substances, causes more than 200 diseases. #Food safety is best assured by an integrated, multidisciplinary approach that considers the entire food chain. While #Veterinary Services are responsible for controlling pathogens in animals, they need to work with the numerous other stakeholders involved in food systems, such as feed producers, farmers, processors, wholesalers, distributors, importers, exporters and retailers. #OneHealth Learn more about it: https://lnkd.in/e_i2fUvM
