Summary As part of the Emerging Risk Identification ( ERI ) activities of the European Food Safety Authority ( EFSA ), a literature search was conducted to identify the microbiological agents transmitted between livestock animals and humans that have been suggested as having emerged between 2007 and 2015 in peer‐reviewed scientific literature published during the same period (2007–2015). According to the criteria set, the search identified seven such zoonotic agents, namely West Nile Fever virus, Rift Valley Fever virus, Crimean‐Congo Haemorrhagic Fever virus, Influenza A H1N1 virus, Coxiella burnetii , Streptococcus suis and livestock‐associated methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex 398. An explanation of the agents' consideration as emerging risks is provided. The experience gained from these emergences has shown that the detection of and response to such risks can be achieved faster and more successfully within a multidisciplinary, collaborative context at the field, local, national and international levels.
