Abstract

Various infectious diseases endanger the health and production of animals. As a result of reducing the number of animals and their productivity, they create conditions for economic crises and poverty. A significant number of the mentioned diseases have a zoonotic nature and affect the health and well-being of humans. Therefore, the main objective of this review article is to evaluate the adverse effects of animal infectious diseases on the socio-economic status of Afghanistan, especially the income of families and the national economy. Infectious diseases spread quickly across borders, from one country to another, and even continents. The results of various research showed that the diseases mentioned above cause hundreds of billions of dollars in losses to the economies of countries and deficient- and middle-income countries like Afghanistan. According to the available data, the cases and outbreaks of various animal infectious diseases occur continuously in the animal populations of Afghanistan, and a large number of them are zoonoses. Since Afghanistan is an agricultural country and the occupation of the majority of its people is livestock farming, and they keep and breed millions of animals and poultry, therefore affecting the health and productivity of animal populations has very unfortunate effects on the economy of families and the entire national economy of the country. Based on this, the provision of standard veterinary services and, as a result, prevention, timely diagnosis, control, and effective treatment of animals play an essential role in reducing such losses and improving the country’s national economy.
