Study Notes
Disease Control Strategies
- Reducing contact between infected and healthy animals is crucial for preventing disease spread.
- Legislation such as Act 144 can support reducing contact by restricting animal movement in high-risk areas.
- Quarantine/Isolation involves physically separating healthy animals from infected ones.
- Quarantine duration depends on the pathogen's infectivity and incubation period.
- Imported animals from areas experiencing outbreaks should be isolated to prevent the spread of infection.
- Mass Treatment involves administering antibiotics and anthelmintics to all animals susceptible to infection.
- Mass Treatment can prevent infection and spread, but potentially leads to drug resistance.
- Mass anthelmintic treatment is used to prevent the spread and occurrence of parasites in endemic areas.
- Mass Vaccination programs effectively control animal diseases.
- Foot-and-mouth disease in hyperendemic areas is a target for mass vaccination.
- Antibody titers should be screened before mass vaccination campaigns to identify existing natural antibodies.
- Oral vaccines for rabies transmitted from wild animals are being developed.
- Standardized cold chain maintenance is essential for the effectiveness of different vaccine types (attenuated or killed).
