Book (stand-alone)Manual for trainers: Frontline In-Service Applied Veterinary Epidemiology Training 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This manual provides details of the Frontline In-Service Applied Veterinary Epidemiology Training (ISAVET) programme’s structure, core competencies, learning outcomes, training activities (training modules, field assignments), supervision, monitoring, and evaluation for Trainees. The intended audience of the manual are individuals enrolled in the Frontline (ISAVET) at the national level. The manual references other ISAVET manuals and documents – e.g. ISAVET Trainer Manual, ISAVET Mentor Manual, SOPs, course registration forms and, templates etc. This manual, will serve as an FAO global resource for national capacity development of Veterinary Services to detect and respond to emerging infectious animal diseases including transboundary animal diseases and zoonotic diseases. -
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. -

Also available in:
No results found.In recent years, outbreaks of animal diseases such as Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), African swine fever (ASF) and Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) have had a devastating impact on communities’ livelihoods and food security. In addition, many animal diseases can spread to humans (known as zoonoses), sometimes with lethal outcomes, as seen with rabies, avian influenza and Rift Valley fever. To reduce the risk posed by these pathogens, it is necessary to establish a strong animal disease surveillance system that is capable of timely exchange of information with other sectors, such as public health and the environment. However, in many countries, the animal health systems are underdeveloped and underfunded, a factor that places these nations at a disadvantage when they are required to prepare for animal diseases, including zoonoses. Strengthening the capacities of national veterinary services is therefore crucial to fill this gap and ensure that: 1. The impact of economically important livestock diseases such as FMD, ASF, PPR and avian influenza is reduced 2. Countries are able to maintain disease-free status through efficient surveillance activities 3. Zoonoses are detected in animals prior to their spillover to humans
