This valuable text presents methods and techniques for conducting
an animal disease surveillance program, and developing an animal
health moitoring system. The text is a 'recipe book' for these
techniques as it explains modern techniques, while emphasizing the
fundamentals and principles of using these techniques.The book is
targeted to epidemiologists and other animal health authorities who
are working in national, regional, and international programs. The
book can be used as a text for professional and postgraduate
training curricula.
This text will be of value in veterinary epidemiology and
regulatory medicine, where there is need for a concise collection
of material on animal disease monitoring, surveillance, and
reporting strategies. This need arises from a new era of
international trade regulations based on animal diseases, new
demands for accountability in utilization of research funds, and
calls for prioritizing and economically justifying animal health
regulatory and diagnostic activities.
