Summary#
This paper reviews 53 infectious diseases in terrestrial animals and suggests that international efforts should focus on Nipah virus infection, African swine fever, contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, peste des petits ruminants, sheeppox and goatpox, avian influenza, Rift Valley fever, foot and mouth disease, and bovine tuberculosis for the greatest impact on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
