| Popis: |
The transboundary animal diseases surveillance and control/eradication are key functions of national veterinary services. In designing animal diseases surveillance, the national veterinary services are dealing with major constraints including lack of cooperation of the livestock owners, inadequate resources to control the compliance of established regulations, inadequate communication among national stakeholder institutions and control of livestock movements. The transboundary animal diseases are controlled using one of the two ways in which the chain of transmission of the disease agent can be broken: prevent the infected animals to perform their role of donor of pathogen and the immunisation of susceptible hosts or the combination of the two ways. The immunisation of animals is the most affordable method in the majority of countries in Africa. |
