Classical risk assessment approaches for animal diseases are influenced by
the probability of release, exposure and consequences of a hazard
affecting a livestock population.
Once a pathogen enters into domestic livestock, potential risks of
exposure and infection both to animals and people extend
through a chain of economic activities related to producing, buying and
selling of animals and products.
Therefore, in order to understand economic drivers of animal diseases
in different ecosystems and to come up with effective and efficient
measures to manage disease risks from a country or region, the entire
value chain and related markets for animal and product needs to be
analysed.
Value chain analysis enriches disease risk assessment providing a framework
for interdisciplinary collaboration, which seems to be in increasing
demand for problems concerning infectious livestock diseases.
The best way to achieve this is to ensure that veterinary
epidemiologists and social scientists work together throughout the
process at all levels.
