Surveillance of animal diseases [3]

The FAO is by far the most sensitive and comprehensive source of guidance, their Emergency Prevention System for Transboundary Animal and Plant Pests and Diseases (EMPRES) the major contact. Their best one-stop resource is the Manual on Livestock Disease Surveillance and Information Systems, describing the setting up and operation of a 'low cost' surveillance system. The measures announced in June 2001 by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO), with FAO, to assist countries surveillance systems will be available in French and English in print and on their Websites, www.oie.int and www.who.int. The specialised and bi-lingual WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record on www.who.int/wer gives rapid, accurate information on cases and outbreaks of diseases.
