Animal Disease Surveillance and Survey Systems Methods and Applications
By M. D. Salman
Animal Disease Surveillance and Survey Systems Methods and Applications PDF 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.
M. D. Salman is the editor of Animal Disease Surveillance and Survey Systems: Methods and Applications, published by Wiley.
