The World Organisation for Animal Health #woah provide a Monthly global update on exceptional disease events of terrestrial wildlife, the first report to WOAH Situation covered – January 2023 Wildlife co-exists alongside humans and domestic animals around the world. The report indicates that each species contributes to the careful balance of the ecosystems. The health of wildlife is deeply entwined with the health of other animals, the environment and humans. By protecting wildlife health, we safeguard biodiversity and invest in a healthier and more sustainable future. The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) indicated that they closely monitor the situation of select diseases in terrestrial wildlife, based on reports provided by Members. These members are legally bound to provide disease information when they become members of the Organisation. This includes about (80) diseases listed by WOAH, as well as emerging diseases. The objective of this report is to provide a better visibility to exceptional disease events in wildlife for communication purposes through mandatory reporting to WOAH for listed and emerging diseases and voluntary reporting of any other relevant information. The report mentioned that the events highlighted in this report represent exceptional changes in global disease dynamics in wildlife that have been detected and reported by National authorities. The data in the report may have some bias, by being either incomplete or presenting variations in data granularity according to the member report. However, the official global reference is using a standard template and a standard data format. In total (1,340 ) new outbreaks with (3,090 ) cases of exceptional disease events were reported. Outbreaks were reported in countries in (Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe ), specifically of African swine fever (ASF), Foot and mouth disease (FMD), and HPAI in non-poultry (HPAI). The report indicated that the higher density of outbreaks observed in the Europe Region, potentially linked to more extensive surveillance in place in wildlife, cases have been reported in (70 )different wild species belonging to (12 )orders. Out of the (70) species for which cases were reported, (9) of them (13%) have a threaten status according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classification.
