Research Question

  • Mitigate the risk of the occurrence of new and existing coronaviruses causing severe diseases in livestock and/or potential zoonotic severe impact and/or spillover to wildlife

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • It is difficult to predict what the next coronavirus capable of causing severe disease in livestock will be
  • Limited knowledge on cross-species transmissions (especially at the wildlife-livestock interface). Data on several CoV in livestock are not monitored
  • Vaccination strategy and approach varies between backyard and commercial poultry industries. This has an impact on viral shedding
  • Animal management and housing strategies – co-habitation of livestock and handlers in low- or middle-resource regions means that there is risk of spillover/spillback

Solution Routes

  • Surveillance programme for CoV genetic evolution
  • Integration of one health approach into the surveillance of coronaviruses
