Summary:

Regulations based on animal diseases, demands for accountability in use of research funds, and pressure for economic justification of animal health regulatory and diagnostic activities call for a comprehensive text dealing with these issues. M.D. Salman answers the call in the book Animal Disease Surveillance and Survey Systems: Methods and Applications. This valuable text addresses a growing need in veterinary epidemiology and regulatory medicine. With contributions from more than a dozen scientists around the world, Salman offers readers practical information on monitoring, surveillance, control, and eradication of animal disease. Techniques for conducting an animal disease surveillance program and developing an animal health monitoring system are thoroughly covered. Offering a "recipe book" for these systems by explaining modern techniques, this text emphasizes the fundamentals and principles behind these methods. The book targets epidemiologists and other animal health authorities who work in national, regional, and international programs, but also can be used as a text for professional and postgraduate training. The emphasis on fundamentals ensures that this book will not go out of date and is a valuable addition to regulatory medicine literature.
