The State of the World’s Animal Health 2025

Welcome to the inaugural edition of The State of the World’s Animal Health report, covering 2025.

This report marks the launch of WOAH’s flagship annual publication, which will be released each year on the occasion of the Organisation’s General Session. It offers a comprehensive overview of the global animal health landscape.

Structured in two main parts, the report begins by highlighting the positive impact of vaccination as one measure on a selection of high priority animal diseases and challenges – including African swine fever, avian influenza, brucellosis, foot and mouth disease, lumpy skin disease, mammalian tuberculosis, rabies, peste des petits ruminants, infectious salmon anaemia and antimicrobial resistance.
