Das Tiergesundheitsgesetz, welches das bisher geltende Tierseuchengesetz ablösen wird, schafft einen Rechtsrahmen, um nicht nur – wie bisher – akut ausgebrochene Tierseuchen zu bekämpfen, sondern durch entsprechende Maßnahmen bereits im Vorfeld möglichen Tierseuchenausbrüchen vorzubeugen. Die Instrumente dazu werden beschrieben. Auf europäischer Ebene wird der Vorbeugegedanke zukünftig ebenfalls eine größere Rolle spielen, wobei der bisher nur auf Kommissionsebene diskutierte Entwurf eines EU-Tiergesundheitsrechtsaktes zusätzlich durch eine Vereinheitlichung des derzeit zersplitterten EG-Rechts zu einer Vereinfachung beitragen und zu einer erleichterten Anwendung durch den Rechtsunterworfenen führen soll. Wann die Beratungen im Rat und im Europäischen Parlament beginnen werden, bleibt abzuwarten. ; The Animal Health Act that replaces the Animal Disease Act, which is currently in force, creates a regulatory framework in order to not only, as has been the case so far, control animal diseases that had already broken out, but in order to already prevent in advance possible outbreaks of animal diseases by means of preventive measures. The instruments to this effect are described here. At European level, too, the idea of prevention is set to play a greater role in the future, with the draft EU legal instrument on animal health, that has to date only been discussed at Commission level, also contributing to a simplification and easier implementation by the persons subject to law by harmonising the currently fragmented Community law. It remains to be seen when the deliberations in the Council and European Parliament will begin.

This benchmark publication assembles information on the current and anticipated effects of climate change on animal health. It empowers educators, managers, practitioners, and researchers by providing evidence, experience, and opinions on what we need to do to prepare for, and cope with, the largest threat ever to have faced animals on this planet. With expert contributors from across the globe, the text equips the reader with information and means to develop sustainable adaptation or mitigation actions. After introducing animal health in a climate change context, chapters look at specific animal health impacts arising from climate change. The book concludes with suggestions on teachable and actionable ideas that could be used to mobilize concepts provided into education or advocacy. This book was written amid the COVID-19 pandemic and in the face of ever-increasing reports of on-the-ground, real-life climate impacts. Large scale wildfire and ocean heat waves killed unprecedented numbers of animals, while droughts in some areas and floods in others displaced thousands of livestock and made food scarce for even more. Climate change is real, and it is here. How we respond will have profound implications for people, biodiversity, welfare, conservation, societies, economies, and ecosystems. Today's veterinary educators are awakening to the need to adapt and train a new generation of animal health professionals who can understand and plan for climate change, and this book is an essential resource.

International audience ; The CIHEAM Watch Letter n°39 in January 2018 on "Animal Health and Livestock, Mediterranean Perspectives" intends to provide a regional Mediterranean overview in terms of Animal Health & Livestock. The contributions of specialists of different nationalities, profiles and experiences, aim at making this issue, a collection of perspectives and studies on the state of animal health in the Mediterranean, its future challenges and the possible solutions allowing to strengthen regional cooperation.

Countries in Southern Africa derive immense benefits from livestock production and demand for livestock products is set to increase in the coming decades. Rapid increase in livestock production brings opportunities but also increases vulnerability to animal disease and human health externalities such as antimicrobial resistance and unsafe food. Priority livestock diseases in Southern Africa include foot and mouth disease, peste des petits ruminants, trypanosomosis, anthrax, rabies and salmonellosis. As well as the impacts of disease on animals and people, concern is growing about the environmental impacts of livestock. Technologies have the potential to mitigate the risks and maximize benefits, including diagnostics, vaccines, antimicrobial alternatives, eAgriculture and prediction and modelling tools. Getting technologies to end-users requires packages that combine them with enabling policy and incentives. Sustainable intensification, progressive disease control and risk-based approaches to food safety are among the most important propositions. Government should support research-to-use through adopting One Health, promoting animal welfare and strengthening public and private veterinary services. ; Peer Review

Fish disease is one of the main obstacles in the success of aquaculture production because of the loss caused by it. The outbreak of diseases has resulted to a substantial economic loss which was reported to have reached almost USD 400 million. To minimize the impact of losses caused by fish diseases, the Indonesian government through the Directorate General of Aquaculture, Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries has a fish disease monitoring and surveillance program. The program aims to monitor the occurrence of fish diseases in Indonesia, especially in the fish and shrimp farming centers and to educate on how to control them. In 2018, the monitoring and surveillance program have 34 provinces with 100 districts/cities location targets targeting fish and shrimp diseases. Based on the results of the monitoring and surveillance activities in 2018, the fish and shrimp are affected by the following diseases: White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV), Infectious Hypodermal and Haemotopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHHNV), Infectious Myonecrosis Virus (IMNV), Iridovirus, Aeromonas hydrophila, Streptococcus iniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Edwardsiella ictaluri and Ichthyophthiriasis. The program to control fish diseases in order to minimize the losses has also been carried out by the government including trainings on the application of biosecurity, the use of vaccines, probiotics, immunostimulants and herbal medicines.

All slaughter animals are examined before and after slaughter by an Official Veterinarian. Findings of diseases and conditions that could affect public health or animal health have to be reported to the management of the abattoir and the private veterinarian as well as the farmer of the farm of origin. The abattoir provides a vast amount of information on zoonotic and notifiable diseases, as well as diseases relevant for animal husbandry or on-farm animal health. Notifiable diseases can be identified through clinical signs (e.g. foot-and-mouth disease), but in specific cases samples are taken for serological surveillance (e.g. Aujeszky's disease). Surveillance and monitoring schemes are generally based on the Terrestrial Animal Health Code of the World Organisation for Animal Health. Bovine tuberculosis is another example of a disease for which monitoring and surveillance is often entirely based on abattoir detection. For transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE's) abattoir sampling constitutes an important proportion of all samples taken. Monitoring of public health threats, including diseases such as trichinellosis and cysticercosis, remains an important element of the inspection practices in the abattoir. Monitoring of trichinellosis can be risk-based: only pigs expected to be at a higher risk of infection are included in the testing regime. Abattoir sampling is also used for assessment of compliance with legislation on residues of antimicrobial drugs in meat. The number of samples is small, but the sampling itself has a preventive effect. An important category of diseases are those relevant for the performance on farm. Some examples are lung and heart lesions, as well as several parasitic diseases such as liver fluke. Indicators for welfare problems on-farm may also appear at slaughter. Foot lesions in poultry and tail biting in pigs are some examples. Abattoir information is easy and cheap to come by and is underutilised at the moment, particularly to feed into animal health management on farm. It ...
