Plain-English summary
This research discusses how important it is to manage diseases that can spread from animals to humans, known as zoonoses. It outlines various steps needed to control these diseases, such as monitoring animal health, managing pests that can carry diseases, and preventing infections in people. The study also suggests a practical plan for controlling zoonoses, which includes understanding local conditions, knowing about the diseases, and having the right testing facilities. Additionally, it talks about why these control programs are important, as they can reflect a country's health and economic situation. Overall, the paper emphasizes the need for coordinated efforts in veterinary public health to effectively manage zoonoses.
Abstract
Because animals are essential in the life cycles of zoonoses, veterinary public health is necessary in the control of such diseases. A review of different operational phases of zoonoses control is presented, including surveillance, control in animals, control of vectors and vehicles, prevention in man and strategy selection. A practical scheme for zoonoses control is proposed along with its different constituents: legislation and administration, knowledge of the territory, knowledge of zoonoses, identification of diagnostic facilities, programme formulation, implementation and evaluation. The motivations for zoonoses control programmes and for their commencement and/or extension are discussed, with reference to their role as indicators of the social and economic status of a country.
