About This Book

Surveillance, early detection, control and eradication of notifiable animal diseases is of critical importance for countries in order to maintain or improve their animal health status. This requires the collaboration of all stakeholders involved including animal health authorities, livestock industry and veterinary research institutions among others. Prevention, control and eradication programs must take into account the characteristics of the host (including potential reservoirs), the pathogen

Our Review

This comprehensive guide to notifiable animal diseases provides essential knowledge on surveillance systems, outbreak detection, and disease control strategies that protect both animal populations and public health. The book systematically examines how pathogens interact with host species and reservoirs, offering practical frameworks for developing effective prevention and eradication programs. Readers will gain crucial insights into the collaborative efforts required between veterinary authorities, livestock industries, and research institutions to maintain national animal health security.

What sets this work apart is its balanced approach between theoretical epidemiology and real-world application, making complex concepts accessible to veterinary students and practicing professionals alike. The emphasis on stakeholder collaboration and practical program implementation makes this particularly valuable for those involved in animal health policy or field epidemiology. This resource ultimately demonstrates how coordinated disease management protects food systems, economies, and global health security.
