Animal Diseases Surveillance Systems: Tools and Demonstrations

Dear Colleagues,

Animal disease surveillance involves the systematic ongoing collection, collation, and analysis of information related to animal health and the timely dissemination of information so that action can be taken. During the last few decades, there have been several publications and books on animal disease surveillance systems which focus on the systems’ concepts and, more specifically, on either economically important diseases or the academic concept of these systems. Several successful attempts at utilizing those systems in the management of diseases were demonstrated either regionally or globally. Most of those attempts and the lessons learned from them have not been shared in appropriate scientific publications. The aim of this Special Issue is to revisit the concept of animal disease surveillance systems and their values in managing those diseases in various geographical national, regional, and global zones. Both demonstrations and lesson learned are welcome in this Special Issue
