ANIMAL DISEASE SURVEILLANCE AND SURVEY SYSTEMS : METHODS AND APPLICATIONS

Edited by M.D. Salman, BVMS, PhD

(From promotional material)
This valuable text addresses a growing need in veterinary epidemiology and
regulatory medicine. With contributions from more than a dozen scientists
from around the world, Animal Disease Surveillance and Survey Systems:
Methods and Applications offers readers practical information on
monitoring, surveillance, control and eradication of animal disease.
Regulations based on animal diseases, demands for accountability in use of
research funds, and demands for economic justification of animal health
regulatory and diagnostic activities call for a comprehensive text and M.D.
Salman answers the call.

Salman presents techniques for conducting an animal disease surveillance
program an developing an animal health monitoring system. The text offers a
"recipe book" for these systems by explaining modern techniques, while
emphasizing the fundamentals and principles behind these methods. The book
targets epidemiologists and other animal health authorities who work in
national, regional, and international programs. The book also can be used
as a text for professional and postgraduate training curricula. The
emphasis on fundamentals ensures that this book will not go out of date.

Contents Include:
Application of surveillance and monitoring systems in disease control programs.
Planning survey, surveillance, and monitoring systems.
Data collection and sources for survey, surveillance, and monitoring systems
Statistical analysis of survey, surveillance, and monitoring systems.
Use of simulation models in surveillance and monitoring systems.
Quality assessment of animal disease surveillance and survey systems.

About the Author: M.D. Salman is Professor of Veterinary Epidemiology of
Colorado State University and Director of Animal Population Health
Institute, College of Veterinary medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
