Do you know any? Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, DD/YYYY - Initial/Syllabus 5 5 What is the difference between a reportable and notifiable disease? Research the following diseases and find out what needs to be done with either a suspected or confirmed case. Can you identify the differences between the two? Salmonella Rabies Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, DD/YYYY - Initial/Syllabus 6 6 2  21/01/2025 Rabies Currently GB has been free from rabies since the 1920s (although found in bat population) No treatment once clinical signs manifest Incubation period up to 6m Initial clinical signs include: lethargy, fever, anorexia, These then progress within days to: Ataxia, weakness paralysis, seizures, hypersalivation, aggression and abnormal behaviour Death follows within 7 days of showing acute clinical signs SC / VN03 7 Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, 06/2023 SC 7 7 Transboundary Diseases Transboundary animal diseases are highly contagious or transmissible, epidemic diseases, with the potential to spread rapidly. They have the potential to cause major public health consequences. Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, DD/YYYY - Initial/Syllabus 8 8 How are diseases spread? Fomites Biological vectors Mechanical vectors Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, DD/YYYY - Initial/Syllabus 9 9 3  21/01/2025 Learning Outcomes 7b - Recognise zoonotic, notifiable and reportable disease and their implications  Define the terms “zoonosis”, “reportable” and “notifiable” in terms of disease, and be able to recognise signs of potential zoonotic, notifiable and reportable diseases, to include food-borne diseases and transboundary animal diseases.

Disinfectants are not all-rounders and appropriate selection depends on the task in hand For example, quaternary ammonium compounds are an appropriate choice for low-risk areas such as the office space and reception, and peroxygen compounds are more appropriate for higher- risk areas such as theatre SC / VN03 13 Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, 06/2023 SC 13 13 How do we use disinfectants correctly? It is important to ensure that the solution is used at the correct dilution to avoid microbial resistance and to ensure optimum disinfection Is 1:100 more concentrated to 1:200? Use promptly after preparation This prevents loss of potency SC / VN03 14 Copyright © The College of Animal Welfare, 06/2023 SC 14 14 Dilutions Anigene requires a dilution of 1:50 for high risk areas. How much Anigene would you need to add to 5ltr water to ensure it is diluted correctly?
