Early detection of diseases in animal populations is key to protecting the health of companion animals and livestock. Safeguarding the health of animals aims at protecting human populations from diseases that are transmissible from animals to humans (zoonotic diseases), guaranteeing the safety of food products, and avoiding economical losses and food supply shortages due to loss of livestock. In this webinar speakers will discuss the current situation of syndromic surveillance in animal health, highlighting the challenges of dealing with animal health data in light of the current development of this field in public health. Examples of successful systems in North America and Europe will be discussed.
