Advocacy for identifying certain animal diseases as "neglected"

Some authors consider this list incomplete and believe that at least 3 other major zoonoses-anthrax, bovine tuberculosis, and brucellosis-should be included [3]. [...]while some public-private partnerships-e.g., the Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines, GALVmed (https://www.galvmed.org/)-now target major livestock diseases impacting smallholders by connecting academia, public research institutes, and the pharmaceutical sector, no strictly animal disease (i.e., nonzoonotic) has been labelled “neglected”. [...]animal diseases impact households through livestock mortality, decreased production or product quality (meat, milk, leather), and disorganised value chains and agroindustries, resulting in income losses [7] that, in turn, affect food security and human health. [...]the impact may be assessed by studying spillover mechanisms hampering the functioning of other economic agents in markets and supply chains, thereby leading to greater food insecurity (lower prices, trade embargoes). DALY indicators solely measure the burden of human diseases and are calculated based on the number of years lost due to a disability linked to poor health and to premature mortality due to disease. [...]at the community level, participatory methods could be used to involve smallholders in determining disease priorities and to understand their perception of sanitary risks.
