Abstract

The field of veterinary medicine is encountering an escalating challenge in the form of emerging infectious diseases. These diseases, affecting a wide range of animals from domestic pets to wildlife and livestock, pose significant threats to both animal and human health. Factors such as environmental changes, globalization, antimicrobial resistance, and zoonotic potential have contributed to their emergence and rapid spread. This abstract explores the intricate landscape of emerging infectious diseases in veterinary medicine, highlighting the multifaceted challenges they present. It underscores the necessity for vigilant surveillance, advanced diagnostics, research, and international collaboration in mitigating these threats. Innovative solutions, including vaccination, public health cooperation, and wildlife conservation, play pivotal roles in addressing the complexities of emerging diseases. This article underscores the importance of a One Health approach, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health in the pursuit of effective solutions and disease prevention.
