Description:Zoonotic diseases are diseases capable of spreading between animals and humans. Most known human infectious diseases and about three-quarters of newly emerging infections originate from animals. Some zoonoses pose a significant threat to human public health, while others may have tremendous agricultural and social or economic impacts. The cross-sectoral nature of zoonotic diseases has historically been a challenge in preparing for and responding to zoonotic disease threats at the animal-human-environment interface, highlighting the critical need for a multisectoral and interdisciplinary One Health approach to address these emerging health threats.
Global security frameworks, including the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) and International Health Regulations (IHR-2005), recommend that countries strengthen their surveillance capacity for zoonotic diseases. As part of implementing this recommendation, Burkina Faso conducted a multisectoral, One Health Zoonotic Disease Prioritization workshop.
The purpose of this 2-day One Health Zoonotic Disease Prioritization Workshop was to identify zoonotic diseases of greatest national concern for Burkina Faso using equal input from representatives of human health, animal resources, and the environment. During the workshop, representatives identified a list of zoonotic diseases relevant for Burkina Faso, defined the criteria for prioritization, and determined questions and weights relevant to each criterion. Five zoonotic diseases were identified as a priority by participants using a semi-quantitative selection tool, the One Health Zoonotic Disease Prioritization tool, developed and coordinated by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (Appendix A).
The prioritized zoonotic diseases for Burkina Faso were anthrax, rabies, highly pathogenic avian influenza, brucellosis, and dengue (Table 1). The final results of the One Health prioritization process and normalized weights for all zoonotic diseases discussed in Burkina Faso are shown in Appendix B. This report summarizes the One Health process used to prioritize the top zoonotic diseases for Burkina Faso that should be jointly addressed using a multisectoral, One Health approach including human, animal, and environmental health ministries and other sectors relevant to the prioritized zoonotic diseases.
