The goal of the workshop was to identify the top five zoonotic diseases of major public health concern in Ethiopia that need to be jointly addressed by animal and human health agencies to have maximum impact on the health of people and animals. This effort was undertaken as part of the zoonotic diseases action package of the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA). GHSA was launched in Ethiopia at a planning meeting held on June 17, 2015, between the Ethiopian government and United States government representatives. Five zoonotic diseases were prioritized by the workshop participants using a semi-quantitative selection tool developed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The five selected zoonotic diseases were rabies, anthrax, brucellosis, leptospirosis, and echinococcosis. CS 260973 hammett-ethiopi-workshop-508.pdf
