    This edition of the manual has the same organization as the first edition - three parts and appendixes. Part I deals with the presumptive field diagnosis, Part II contains guidelines for the collection and submission of specimens for diagnosis and Part III, the longest section, describes proven confirmatory diagnostic methods .The appendixes outline the preparation of hyperimmune anti-rinderpest serum, cite recipes of stock solutions and demonstrate the calculation of 50 percent end-point dilutions.Rapid, accurate diagnosis is an essential precursor for the global eradication of rinderpest virus. It is hoped that this second edition of the Manual on the diagnosis of rinderpest will enable personnel of the active disease surveillance teams and district and central laboratories to refresh their diagnostic skills and help rid the world of rinderpest. A rinderpest-free world would be of immense economic benefit to developing countries currently threatened by the disease

    Rinderpest is a highly contagious disease that, throughout history, has resulted in the mortality of hundreds of millions of livestock and has caused significant disruption and damage to agricultural supply chains throughout the world. FAO, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and regional partners implemented the Global Rinderpest Eradication Programme, which brought an end to the disease in 2011. Rinderpest is the first animal disease to be eradicated worldwide.
