     Box 1.1

                In some parts of Lampung – southern part of Sumatra Island, people keep deer in captive breeding farms
                along with their livestock. This unique interface may have the potential to transfer diseases from wild
                deer to livestock and humans. Lampung has numerous wildlife conservation areas with large livestock
                production farms close by. With growing deforestation, interfaces between wildlife and domestic livestock
                will only increase.
                Deer surveillance was conducted with multi-sectoral partners from the animal and wildlife sectors at local and national
                level, including the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health Services, Ministry of Agriculture, the Directorate
                General Biodiversity, Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Lampung Disease Investigation Center (DIC), Lampung
                Biodiversity Conservation Agency, the Indonesia Institute of Sciences (LIPI), and Lampung University.
                In 2019, deer samples were tested at DIC Lampung for five target emerging virus families (Herpes, Paramyxo, Corona,
                Bunya, and Rhabdo) using the PREDICT Protocols for infectious disease detection, as well as testing for the presence of
                antibody against tuberculosis and paratuberculosis through ELISA serological testing. The final results were still pending
                in July 2020. This surveillance demonstrated concrete One Health action and built multisectoral partnerships to jointly
