Improving disease surveillance in sheep populations to support preventative flock health management programmes
摘要
This chapter is titled “improving disease surveillance in sheep populations”, but to do this, it is important to understand what surveillance is, what it hopes to achieve, and how it can be implemented to promote and enhance sheep health and welfare. Many of the concepts of animal disease surveillance apply widely across many species, and the disease risks from multiple animal populations must be considered for surveillance to be effective.
