title = "Application of Metagenomics and Artificial Intelligence for Pathogen Characterization in Domestic Animals and Epizootic Prediction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis",
abstract = "Sub-Saharan Africa suffers devastating animal health losses exceeding \$20 billion each year. By combining metagenomics with artificial intelligence (AI), a promising path emerges for faster diagnostics and proactive disease prediction. Our PRISMA-guided review of 1,225 studies reveals that metagenomics achieves 94.2\% diagnostic sensitivity (compared to 67.3\% with conventional methods), while AI dramatically shortens turnaround from 48-72h to just 4-8h, offering a valuable 14-18 day early warning window for epizootics.",
