Summary :This year, World Veterinary Year, is also the year in which the global eradication of rinderpest has been formally announced by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It is timely, therefore, that the OIE should, through the vehicle of its Scientific and Technical Review, make available to veterinarians and their partners around the world an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the risks of spreading important diseases of terrestrial and aquatic production animals through international trade. It was, after all, the reintroduction of rinderpest into Europe through trade in cattle that led to the founding of the OIE in 1924.
