61-80 Flashcards
Disease control: Eradication
- Extinction of infectious agent, e.g. smallpox virus
- Reduction of prevalence to a level at which transmission does not occur
- Reduction of prevalence to a level at which disease ceases to be a major health
problem, although some transmission may still take place (elimination) - Regional extinction of infectious agent e.g. FMD in UK
Disease control: Strategies
- Do nothing
- Quarantine (rabies)
- Slaughter (FMD, TB, Brucellosis, BSE, mastitis)
- Vax
- Therapeutic and prophylactic chemotherapy
- Controlled movement of hosts
- Control vectors
- Fomite disinfection
- Minimal disease methods (SPF)
Disease control: Common rules
- NOTIFICATION
- HARMONIZED CONTROL MEASURES
- UNIFORMITY OF DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
- CONTINGENCY PLANS
- EPIDEMIOLOGICAL UNITS
- FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Disease control: Disease outbreak
- SUSPICION
- CONFIRMATION
- EPIDEMIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION
- STAMPING-OUT – notifiable
- ZONES WITH MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS
Vet public health: Definition
part of public health action which is committed to the protection and improvement of human health through application of the capabilities, knowledge and professional resources of veterinary science
Vet public health: Animal production
- Control and eventual eradication of specific zoonoses
- Prevention of occupational hazards and diseases connected with live animals and their products
- Establishment of diagnostic, surveillance and information systems
- Control of animal populations which may be disease reservoirs
Vet public health: Environment
- Control zoonoses
- Safe collection and disposal of dead animals/waste
- zoonoses-control in non-prod animals

Pharmacological system
Member states shall administer this system – used to collect useful info in surveillance of vet medicinal products
Zoonosis control: Surveillance
- Testing
- Slaughterhouse surveys
- Isolation
- Epidemiological studies
- Collection of statistical data (Dog) of rabies
- Notification
(w/diseases on the doc)
Zoonosis control: Control in animals
- quarantine
- test and destruction of disease or infected animal
- test and segregation
- th of sick animals
- restriction of animal
- proper feeding hygiene
- sterile males
- prohibition of slaughter diseased animals
- decontam of food
- raising pathogen free animals
Zoonosis control: Prevention in man
- education
- vax
- post-exposure th
- proper food hygiene
- arthropod control
- rodent and lagomorph control
- proper pet feeding
- immunodepressed persons
- toxoplasmosis in preggos women
Zoonosis control: Strategy selection
- Eradication (brucellosis, C. hominivorax infection, glanders, rabies bovine brucellosis and tuberculosis;
- Coexistence with the disease, with acceptable consequences (brucellosis: often controlled only by vaccination, rabies: reduction of fox and stray dog populations
- No specific action (Q fever, toxoplasmosis: health education
