Book (stand-alone)High-profileRinderpest and its eradication 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This book tells the story of rinderpest and its eradication. The focus is on the international coordination that came together after the Second World War in the confident belief that, with vaccines available, the eradication of rinderpest was a practical possibility. In both Africa and South Asia, beginning in the 1960s, there was an initial dramatic success through the coordinated vaccination of cattle across the continents. Unfortunately, follow-up measures could not prevent the return of epidemic rinderpest, albeit to a lesser extent. Chastened by failure, the international community refocused with renewed energy to achieve eradication. The vaccination programmes broadened to reflect a multidisciplinary approach to disease eradication. FAO and the OIE, together with international aid agencies, coordinated policy with the nation states and guided implementation of the era¬dication programmes until success was achieved. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyBook of abstracts of the "Scientific developments and technical challenges in the progressive control of FMD in south Asia 2012
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO and the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) of the Ministry of Agriculture of India have called this meeting to gauge how scientific progress on foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is changing the potential for control of the disease in South Asia and potentially, in areas with similar disease risk. The main themes are the potential of current FMD research for the development of improved vaccines and vaccination programmes; the optimization of control programmes based on comprehensive assessments of FMD epidemiology and of control options; regionally co-ordinated FMD programmes; and the growing FMD scientific output from Eurasia, which has the potential to create new and greater levels of control if public policy makes good use of the best science. This book of abstracts provides a guide to the main papers presented during the meeting. -
