A foreign animal disease (FAD) is an animal disease or pest, whether terrestrial or aquatic, not known to exist in the United States or its territories. [1] When these diseases can significantly affect human health or animal production and when there is significant economic cost for disease control and eradication efforts, they are considered a threat to the United States.

The Regional Animal Health Center for North Africa (RAHC-NA) is a facility run by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (FAO-ECTAD). It has been in action since May 2007.
Rinderpest (also cattle plague or steppe murrain) was an infectious viral disease of cattle, domestic buffalo, and many other species of even-toed ungulates, including gaurs, buffaloes, large antelope, deer, giraffes, wildebeests, and warthogs. [2] The disease was characterized by fever, oral erosions, diarrhea, lymphoid necrosis, and
The long-distance spread is by sick animals. [11] As the virus soon becomes inactive outside the body, indirect contamination is generally limited. In an affected flock, even in pest-free regions, the disease does not progress very rapidly, in spite of the close contact between animals. New clinical cases may be observed daily for a 1-month ...

The H5N1 virus has spread more widely than ever before, reaching as far as South America and Antarctica and infecting new species of wild and domestic animals, it said in a statement. "Since late ...
FAO established an Emergency Prevention System for Transboundary Animal and Plant Pests and Diseases in 1994, focusing on the control of diseases like rinderpest, foot-and-mouth disease and avian flu by helping governments coordinate their responses.
Cross-species transmission is the most significant cause of disease emergence in humans and other species. [citation needed] Wildlife zoonotic diseases of microbial origin are also the most common group of human emerging diseases, and CST between wildlife and livestock has appreciable economic impacts in agriculture by reducing livestock productivity and imposing export restrictions.
