<p>Fomite control refers to management systems that reduce the risk of infectious diseases being introduced to herds. It is important in disease prevention as it helps in minimizing the spread of pathogens through contaminated objects</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The different methods used in disease eradication programs include test and removal, pre-emptive culling, blanket culling, and stamping out. Test and removal involves removing and slaughtering animals that test positive for the disease. Pre-emptive culling involves slaughtering animals that have been exposed to infection. Blanket culling involves culling animals on contagious premises surrounding an infected farm. Stamping out is a combination of the other preventative measures.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The purpose of synonymic surveillance is to provide an early warning of human or VPH threats that require public health action. It involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting health-related data to identify trends indicating higher than usual levels of illness. This helps in detecting potential outbreaks and enables timely public health interventions.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The preliminary phase of outbreak investigation and control involves collating and assessing available information, establishing a tentative diagnosis, agreeing on a case definition, collecting relevant specimens, conducting in-depth interviews with initial cases, and conducting on-site investigations at implicated premises. The goal is to understand the common symptoms and exposure factors among cases and assess the public health risk.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The purpose of outbreak control plans is to provide guidelines and scenarios for managing outbreaks effectively. These plans should include a system of communication and liaison between stakeholders, arrangements for media liaison, arrangements for patient care and secondary person to person spread, necessary equipment and facilities, and a clear statement of the plan's purpose in controlling incidents.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Veterinarians tend to get involved in a public health capacity during outbreaks because they have more knowledge about zoonotic potential and diseases compared to doctors. Their expertise in animal health and zoonotic diseases is valuable in understanding and managing outbreaks that involve animal-human transmission.</p> Signup and view all the answers
