Description

Veterinary epidemiology is the study of disease patterns in animal populations, focusing on the factors that influence their occurrence, distribution, and determinants. This field plays a crucial role in safeguarding animal health, public health, and the environment. This discipline investigates outbreaks, tracks diseases, and assesses risk factors to formulate effective prevention and control strategies. By understanding the dynamics of diseases in animals, veterinary epidemiology contributes to disease management, vaccination programs, and policy development aimed at minimizing health risks to both animals and humans. Veterinary epidemiology also intersects with various other disciplines such as microbiology, ecology, and statistics, enhancing its ability to address complex health challenges in diverse animal species and ecosystems. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of veterinary epidemiology. It also outlines the processes and applications of veterinary epidemiology in detail. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
