Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Mongolia’s unique socio-economic and geographical characteristics, including its vast grasslands and reliance on traditional livestock herding, pose substantial risks regarding the emergence and transmission of novel zoonotic pathogens. In Mongolia, which has a livestock population exceeding 64 million, close interactions between humans and animals are integral to the livelihoods of rural communities but heighten the risk of zoonotic pathogen transmission. Major livestock-associated zoonoses in Mongolia, such as brucellosis, tuberculosis, anthrax, and rabies, have serious impacts on humans, livestock, and the economy. These risks are exacerbated by traditional practices, such as the consumption of raw or unpasteurized animal products, and challenges such as climate change, limited access to veterinary services, and nomadic herding. Collaborative zoonotic pathogen control strategies involving health and veterinary sectors have been implemented, including surveillance programs and vaccination efforts. However, gaps remain in disease management, surveillance, and public education. Strengthening infrastructure and adopting a One Health approach is critical to mitigating zoonotic pathogen risks for both humans and animals.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
