| Abstract | ||||
| In recent years, the emergence and re-emergence of zoonotic viral diseases have posed a growing threat to Oman’s agricultural sector, significantly impacting farm animal health and productivity. This review provides an in-depth examination of the current status of zoonotic viral diseases affecting farm animals in the Sultanate of Oman. Utilizing a comprehensive analysis of existing data and scientific literature, it details the prevalence and impact of these diseases on animal populations and the broader agricultural landscape. The paper specifically focuses on key zoonotic viruses such as Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, rabies, and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus, highlighting their modes of transmission and the challenges they pose to both animal and public health. It underscores the critical need for a coordinated and integrated One Health approach, which encompasses human, animal, and environmental health, to effectively manage and prevent the spread of these zoonotic viruses. By addressing current gaps in knowledge and outlining future research priorities, this paper aims to inform policymakers and stakeholders about the necessary strategies to enhance surveillance, prevention, and control measures in Oman’s agricultural sector. | ||||
