Plain-English summary
In Israel, the combination of environmental conditions, farming practices, and social factors has led to some serious challenges for veterinary public health, which focuses on diseases that can spread from animals to humans. The paper discusses different issues related to zoonotic diseases (those that can be transmitted from animals to people), the safety of animal products, and the health of rural ecosystems. It also highlights the efforts made by government veterinary services to address these problems. Overall, the situation is complex and requires ongoing attention and action to keep both animals and people healthy.

The paper describes various VPH problems concerning zoonotic diseases, products of animal origin and rural ecology, and the attempts to solve them by the State Veterinary Services and Animal Health.
