How is the state of the world's animal health? The second edition of the State of the World's Animal Health report paints a bleaker picture than the one we documented last year. More than 2,000 outbreaks of avian influenza were reported by 64 countries and territories between 2025 and 2026, resulting in the culling or loss of more than 140 million poultry. Foot and mouth disease has caused unprecedented outbreaks in Southern Africa and re-emerged in Europe. African swine fever continues to spread, including through notable long-distance jumps. And the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasitic fly, is alsoraising serious concern, with tens of thousands of cases reported across Central America and a northward spread that poses a threat to animal health beyond the countries currently affected. Despite the monumental and cascading effect that disease has, animal health only receives a meagre 0.6% of health spending. Animal health is a public good and yet we don't fund it like one. At a moment when governments are increasing defence budgets it is worth asking what animal health actually means in this context. Take a look at more such insights including the latest animal health trends, perspectives and stories from across the world in the latest State of the Animal Health 2026 report.
