# Mitigating Disease Transmission Risk at the Wildlife–Livestock Interface to Facilitate Safe Trade - WOAH - World Organisation for Animal Health

> WOAH has launched guidelines on managing disease transmission risk where wildlife and livestock interact. The guidance helps Veterinary Services control transboundary diseases such as African swine fever, avian influenza and foot and mouth disease while keeping safe trade running. It notes that WOAH standards bar banning livestock trade solely because of disease found in wildlife.

## Why it matters

The guidance sets out a framework for keeping livestock trade open during wildlife-linked outbreaks, which limits trade-driven price shocks. It has no immediate supply effect.
