Diagnostics (tools and technologies)
Diagnostics are crucial for the early detection and management of animal diseases, guiding effective interventions to protect animal health.
STAR IDAZ Approach
Diagnostics play a vital role in the early detection, monitoring, and management of animal diseases, enabling timely and effective interventions to safeguard animal health. In the context of STAR-IDAZ, diagnostics are recognised as a priority area due to their critical importance in disease control and prevention. However, there is currently no dedicated working group focused on diagnostics within STAR-IDAZ. While the topic remains a high priority, we are not in the process of developing a comprehensive roadmap to guide future efforts in this area.

Gap analysis summary
Diagnostics are a critical priority for STAR-IDAZ, as they play an essential role in the early detection, monitoring, and control of various animal diseases. Accurate diagnostics are integrated into the strategies for several of our priority diseases, ensuring that we can respond swiftly and effectively to emerging health threats. Despite its importance, there is currently no dedicated working group focused exclusively on diagnostics, and there are no immediate plans to develop a specific roadmap for this area. Our approach emphasizes the use of diagnostic tools within the broader context of disease management, aligning with our overarching goals to improve animal health worldwide.
