Abstract

This paper provides an overview of risks and control measures for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) related to the livestock sector in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). Globally, the diffusion of antimicrobial use (AMU) has expanded dramatically over recent decades, remains unequally distributed (especially between developed and developing countries), but is growing most rapidly in emerging economies like those of the GMS. At the same time, these regions exhibit the highest growth rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), indicating that they should be primary candidates for more determined domestic and transboundary disease risk management and control measures. This review is intended to support greater public awareness and policy activism in addressing AMU/AMR risk, promoting expansion of cattle and other agrifood trade between CMS countries and the PRC. Based on a global review of AMR risk, we offer recommendations for risk mitigation in GMS livestock husbandry and marketing practice, particularly in a transbondary context. The report also supports a larger One Health initiative for advancing public health and food safety in the region.
