Abstract

As a result of the expansion of global trade and travel, livestock disease surveillance has rapidly evolved from a stance of looking at and within our borders for threats to looking more intensively across the globe for threats. The projected intensification of livestock production in developing nations will likely broaden the scale, diversity, and consequences of disease outbreaks. Numerous challenges face the development and implementation of effective global and domestic livestock disease surveillance. Our profession is well-positioned to advocate, develop, and utilize novel technologies, novel strategies, and novel sources of human resources to meet these challenges.
