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. -
Book (series)Afrička kuga svinja: detekcija i dijagnostika
Terenski priručnik za veterinare
2018Afrička kuga svinja (AKS) je veoma kontagiozna virusna bolest koja uzrokuje hemoragičnu groznicu kod svinja i divljih svinja, a često je praćena letalitetom i do 100 procenata. Kao rezultat, AKS može ozbiljno uticati na produktivnost celokupnog sistema proizvodnje svinja. Ne samo da ugrožava prehrambenu sigurnost države kada je u pitanju snabdevenost tržišta svinjskim mesom, nego predstavlja veliki izazov izvoru prihoda farmera i svih drugih učesnika u lancu proizvodnje, a kao rezultat ograničenja izvoza negativno utiče i na međunarodnu trgovinu. Sa izuzetno visokim potencijalom za prekogranično širenje, bolest se danas smatra enzootskom u podsaharskoj Africi, na italijanskom ostrvu Sardiniji kao i delovima Kavkaza i istočne Evrope. Kako postoji stalni rizik daljeg širenja AKS iz ovih područja, usled prekograničnog kretanja pojedinaca, proizvoda poreklom od svinja, predmeta, materijala i zaraženih divljih svinja, svaka država sa sopstvenom proizvodnjom svinja je u opasnosti. Sektor malih proizvođača, čija se gazdinstva/farme karakterišu niskim nivoom biosigurnosti, posebno je ranjiv. U odsustvu efikasne vakcine ili lečenja, najbolja strategija protiv AKS je strategija ranog otkrivanja povezana sa sistemom brzog odgovora kod izbijanja zaraze. U ovom kontekstu, ključno je podizanje svesti i obuka veterinara i svih drugih osoba koji se nalaze na prvoj liniji odbrane od pojave zaraznih bolesti životinja. Cilj ovog priručnika je da veterinarima, veterinarskim tehničarima i laboratorijskom osoblju pruži neophodne informacije radi uspešnog ranog otkrivanja i brze dijagnostike afričke kuge svinja i primene efikasnih mera sprečavanja širenja, suzbijanja i eradikacije bolesti. I vlasnici i držaoci svinja, lovci i šumari takođe mogu imati veliku korist od upotrebe i čitanja priručnika. -
Book (series)Introduction and spread of lumpy skin disease in South, East and Southeast Asia
Qualitative risk assessment and management
2020Also available in:
No results found.Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a vector-borne disease of cattle and Asian water buffalo that is included on the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) list of notifiable diseases. In July 2019 LSD was introduced to Bangladesh, China and India and then spread to Nepal and Bhutan and in 2020 to various provinces of China and India. A qualitative risk assessment was conducted to assess the likelihood of introduction and/or spread of LSD in 23 countries in South, East and Southeast Asia based on information available up to 31 October 2020. The economic impact of LSD for South, East and Southeast countries was estimated to be up to USD 1.45 billion in direct losses of livestock and production. These losses may be higher, due to the severe trade implications for infected countries. This document provides an overview of LSD control approaches, including prevention. The cost-effectiveness estimation demonstrates a strong economic justification for vaccination and advocates for a regional approach to harmonize control measures.
