Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetIn Service Applied Veterinary Epidemiology Training (ISAVET)
Providing animal health workers with the skills to save lives and livelihoods
2019Also available in:
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has embarked on supporting countries to improve the capacity of their veterinary services through the implementation of an in-service training programme that targets frontline veterinary staff, mentors and trainers. This two-page document has been created to raise awareness and gain support for the Frontline In-Service Applied Veterinary Epidemiology Training (ISAVET) programme before it launches at the national level in 14 countries in 2020. The programme was created in order to combat the emergence and spread of animal diseases, zoonoses, and related threats such as antimicrobial resistance, which all pose a serious threat to global health security. The programme is designed to help frontline veterinary staff to fill in the gaps in the animal health sector to prevent, detect and respond to outbreaks in a timely manner and therefore protect human health, reduce animal losses, assure consumer protection, promote safe trade and improve livelihoods. -

Book (series)Lumpy skin disease – A manual for veterinarians 2017
Also available in:
The Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease of cattle that has dramatic effects on rural livelihoods, which strongly dependent on cattle. The disease slashes milk production and may lead sterility in bulls and fertility problems in females. It damages hides, and causes death due to secondary bacterial infections. Although traditionally limited to sub-Saharan Africa, LSD has slowly been invading new territories such as the Middle East and Turkey, and since 2015, most of the Balkan countries, the Caucasus and the Russian Federation, where the disease continues to spread and the risk of an imminent incursion into other unaffected countries, is very high. Veterinarians, cattle farmers, and others along the value chain are facing the disease for first time and are unfamiliar with LSD’s clinical presentation, its transmission routes and the available prevention and control options. This manual aims to fill these gaps by providing veterinary professionals and paraprofessionals with the information they need to promptly diagnose and react to an outbreak of LSD. Cattle farmers will also benefit from reading it.
