Investment in disease control should be targeted to critical points that provide the greatest benefit to the livelihoods of livestock-dependent stakeholders. Risk-based targeting should balance the impacts of diseases against the feasibility of their control. This requires sensitive and specific ...

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a cattle disease that has hampered the development of the livestock sector in sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, vaccination with a live vaccine strain is its recommended control measure although unofficial antimicrobial use is widely practiced. Here, model...

The spread of H5N1 avian influenza continues to pose an economic burden and a public health risk worldwide. Despite this, estimates of the transmissibility of infection exist in only a handful of settings and vary considerably. Using final size methods and flock-level infection data from a field ...

We conducted an operational research study involving backyard and semicommercial farms on Java Island, Indonesia, between April 2008 and September 2009 to evaluate the effectiveness of two preventive mass vaccination strategies against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). One regimen used Le...

The purpose of
this manual is to provide a reference for veterinarians and animal
health workers during and after PDS training. The main focus of the manual is on HPAI PDS but the methods can be easily adaptedand applied to address other livestock diseases.

Considering that Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in developing countries is
not solely a veterinary problem, especially in backyard flocks, and an acceptable control
can only be successful with the involvement of those small holders a research agenda
was developed by an international exp...
