Plain-English summary
In Cyprus, the Veterinary Services have made significant progress in controlling animal diseases, which has helped them focus on important zoonoses, or diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. They have implemented programs to manage conditions like echinococcosis, brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, anthrax, and taeniasis, and have taken steps to prevent rabies from being imported into the country. Raising public awareness about the risks of these diseases and fostering cooperation between veterinary, medical, public health, and other organizations has been crucial for their success. Overall, these efforts have led to effective control of zoonoses in Cyprus.
Abstract
The excellent results achieved in the control of animal diseases in Cyprus have allowed the Veterinary Services to take a leading role in the elimination, surveillance and investigation of important zoonoses. The programmes for the control of echinococcosis, brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, anthrax and taeniasis, and the measures taken to prevent the importation of rabies are described. Public awareness of the risks posed by the presence of zoonoses and the efficient and effective intersectoral co-operation achieved between the veterinary, medical, public health and other Government services and non-governmental organisations are considered to be the key to the successful control of zoonoses in Cyprus.
