Understanding Wildlife Farming and Zoonotic Disease Management in Viet Nam

Wildlife farming is a long-standing practice in Viet Nam, dating back to the late 1800s, and it has experienced significant expansion alongside the country’s economic development. In light of the growing concern about zoonotic disease spillover at this human-animal interface, particularly in the context of a suspected escalation of wildlife farming activities in Viet Nam to meet the demand in China following regulatory measures to reduce wildlife farming after COVID-19, this study endeavored to examine the management of zoonotic disease risks related to wildlife farming in Viet Nam. The work established a comprehensive understanding of the existing policy framework, shedding light on the key areas that may warrant improvement for risk management to systematically mitigate the risks of zoonotic disease emergence from wildlife farming practices in Viet Nam.
