Millions to monitor animal diseases and prevent future pandemics.
AUSTRALIA will aim to be a world leader in monitoring animal diseases, pouring millions into increasing its early warning capabilities to prevent future pandemics.
The federal government will invest $8.4 million over the next four years to monitor emerging diseases in both wildlife and domestic animals, including those with pandemic potential.
There are an estimated 1.7 million undiscovered viruses in mammal and bird hosts, which could evolve into different variants that pose an unknown level of risk to humans.
Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said the government was taking a "true One Health" approach that recognised the interdependencies of human, animal and environmental health to prevent future pandemics.
