Atlas of Transboundary Animal Diseases

The Atlas of Transboundary Animal Diseases, the OIE's bestseller,  is intended to assist Veterinary Service field staffs involved in animal disease surveillance and diagnostics in identifying important transboundary diseases of livestock. The focus of this publication is on key images of clinical signs and post mortem lesions associated with 29 OIE notifiable animal diseases supplemented by basic disease information from the OIE technical disease cards. Input for this consolidated reference volume comes from OIE's global network of veterinary epidemiologists and diagnostic experts and the support of APHIS-USDA.
The revised edition is now available in English!

Guide to terrestrial animal health surveillance

The purpose of surveillance is to provide timely and relevant information to allow early warning and inform policy makers for rapid response to reduce the spread and mitigate the impact of disease.
This practical handbook about surveillance is intended to be used mainly by Veterinary Services or other Competent Authorities, their staff and experts as a tool for strengthening the design, implementation and evaluation of surveillance systems for diseases of relevance for terrestrial animals in their country.

Atlas of Porcine Dermatology

This Atlas, which has been lavishly illustrated, is the first of its kind and fills a gap in the global veterinary literature. The advantage of this book is that it takes into account all aspects of porcine dermatology (it covers non-infectious diseases and those whose origins are neither parasitic nor fungal), thus facilitating differential diagnosis.

A review of the scientific literature on the control of Salmonella spp. in food-producing animals other than poultry

Salmonella species are prominent and enduring pathogens worldwide, which represent a challenge for both animal and human health. This review provides an extensive summary of the prevalence, epidemiology and control of Salmonella in non-avian livestock, as well as a review of attribution studies relating it to human disease.

Bee health and veterinarians

Maintaining bee health is a central responsibility in beekeeping, for both professional and amateur beekeepers, because only healthy bees are able to pollinate successfully and achieve a good honey harvest. Bee losses have become an increasingly serious problem throughout the world.

Camelid Infectious Disorders

This edition provides an up-to-date reference book covering all infectious diseases in camelids. The book is divided into chapters on bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic diseases; each section containing information on aetiology, epidemiology, clinical signs, pathology, diagnosis, prevention and control.

Wildlife Disease Risk Analysis

The Manual of Procedures and the Guidelines for Wildlife Risk Analysis provide practical guides that will be useful to the growing and diverse range of professionals, policy-makers and decision-makers faced with the social, political and technical complexities assessment and management of wildlife associated disease risk scenarios.

Pictorial guide to the diagnosis of glanders

Glanders is a contagious and life-threatening disease of horses, donkeys and mules caused by Burkholderia mallei which can be transmitted to humans. Susceptibility to glanders has been demonstrated in wild felines, camels, bears, wolves and dogs. This brochure on glanders shows valuable images of clinical signs, post mortem lesions as well as histology and microbiological pictures. These images will serve as a useful tool to veterinarians and other interested people in understanding and diagnosing this zoonosis. It may also help to eradicate the disease from our globe.

Handbook on Import Risk Analysis for Animals and Animal Products
I. Introduction and qualitative risk analysis

The Volume I Handbook introduces the concepts of import risk analysis and discusses qualitative risk analysis. The provision of tested practical examples makes it a useful training tool.

Handbook on Import Risk Analysis for Animals and Animal Products
II. Quantitative risk analysis

The handbook will provide practical guidance to Veterinary Services confronted with the need to analyse the risks posed by imports, to ensure that stakeholders, risk analysts and decision-makers can be confident that the disease risks posed have been identified and can be managed effectively. The handbook will also be useful as a training aid to address the critical need for capacity building in this discipline.

Wild Mammals
New classification of the Ungulates

Both scientific and philatelic, Wild Mammals is an original book on hoofed animals. This new classification of animals deserves to be discovered by a wider public.
Bilingual publication: French - English

Guide for Aquatic Animal Health Surveillance

Bluetongue in northern Europe

Bluetongue (BT) is an infectious, viral and vector-borne disease of improved breeds of sheep and some species of deer that is of major international importance. The infection is usually unapparent in cattle, which acts as reservoir for the virus. However, some serotypes such as serotype 8 (BTV-8), which recently caused a severe epizootic of BT in northern Europe, exhibit a more important virulence in cattle.

Trichinellosis: WHO/FAO/OIE Guidelines

Guidelines for the surveillance, management, prevention and control of Trichinellosis were developed with the objective of updating scientists, the public, and public health agencies responsible for trichinellosis control and prevention on these new developments and on the latest understanding of trichinellosis. The Guidelines reflect the accumulated knowledge and expertise of many internationally renowned experts on this zoonosis and the contents cover the most recent discoveries and advances in Trichinella biology, systematics, epidemiology, diagnosis, patient management, prevention and control.

Zoonoses et maladies transmissibles communes à l'homme et aux animaux
 Vols. I, II & III

Volume I : Bacterioses and mycoses ; Volume II : Chlamydioses, rickettsioses and viroses; Volume III : Parasitoses (sold together)
Most of the recent emerging diseases are of animal origin, and nearly all are potential zoonoses. Over the last decades, nearly one new emerging disease has appeared each year; around 75% of them are zoonotic in nature. Recent West Nile fever and avian influenza epidemics, or the present rabies upsurge in Eastern Europe, bear witness to the vitality of emerging diseases the world over.

Taeniosis - cysticercosis: WHO-FAO-OIE Guidelines

The WHO/FAO/OIE Guidelines for the Surveillance, Prevention and Control of Taenisosis and Cysticercosis is a compilation of the knowledge and valuable expertise of a great many internationally recognised experts on this zoonosis, accumulated over more than a hundred years of research. With out this knowledge base, effective and proven recommendations for diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control will not be possible.

Livestock Trypanosomoses and Vectors in Latin America

This study of livestock trypanosomoses in Latin America, the first of its kind, provides an overview of the situation as it was between 1990 and 1995, and will serve as a benchmark for future studies and comparisons. The study’s appraisal of mechanical vectors and their harmful effects focuses on the damage that Tabanids can cause, and provides statistics on their impact on the livestock industry. These statistics alone provide sufficient justification for undertaking seasonal strategic control measures against these insects, whose effect on livestock, while often localised and short-lived, has not thus far been given proper consideration.

Historical Perspective of Rabies in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin

Throughout the 20th Century, control strategies for rabies in Europe have significantly reduced the human burden of disease. Rabies has been successfully eradicated from many European countries and in this book leading experts describe the various approaches that have been taken.

Principales maladies infectieuses et parasitaires du bétail: Europe et régions chaudes

Gaston Ramon Award by the French Veterinary Academy. These two volumes are the product of work by top world scientists. Over 130 diseases are presented, most of which are accompanied by very valuable and informative illustrations and photographs. Viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic diseases of all livestock species, apart from poultry, that are encountered in temperate regions as well as in the hotter areas, such as the Mediterranean Basin, and in countries of the tropics, are discussed in detail. Numerous so-called 'emerging' diseases that threaten to invade temperate areas, or which have already started to do so, are described (bluetongue, African horse sickness, foot and mouth disease, etc.). Available in French only.
