Abstract

 An application of the science of veterinary immunopathology has been worthwhile in planning to contain pandemics since it enables us to decide how the immune system reacts to diseases of zoonotic nature and enables us to devise some early response methods.  In light of the One Health paradigm, this paper examined immunopathological profiling, pathogen characterisations, and cross species disease monitoring in order to determine whether veterinary sciences can potentially be used to curb outbreaks.  Through an integration of immunological and molecular analysis, we identified significant immune indicators showing the early exposure to pathogens. This will ensure that we identify pathogens within a short time and take the necessary action.  The findings indicate that a comprehensive assessment of the veterinary immunopathology can enhance the development of the vaccines pipeline, aids in the treatment planning aspects, and enhances forecasting of the potential spillover outcomes.  It is also found in the study that interdisciplinary cooperation is necessary, e.g., that veterinary experience should be combined with the existing public health structures to ensure a high level of outbreak response.  The evidence incorporates the vital instrument of early warning systems and strategic judgement-making processes in times of new health concerns through addressing awareness and convergence of laboratory diagnostics, field epidemiology and the value of immunological representation.  These data indicate that it is crucial to enhance veterinary diagnostic networks, promote the sharing of data in real-time and invest funds in the advanced immunopathological studies to reduce the risk of future pandemics.  The conclusion of the study states that considering the long-term global health security, veterinary immunopathology should be undertaken in the preparation plans during any pandemic occurrence.
