Biosecurity : Methods to reduce contact risks between vectors and livestock

摘要: In order to prevent direct contact between livestock and pest animals thus decrease the risk of pathogen transmission, implementation preventive or sometimes even curative measures is required. The concept biosecurity refers such measures, but it difficult quantify results as situation farms may vary substantially. this chapter we investigate position evolution concept, especially in relation management. We stress need for a strategy not only because potential transmission (zoonotic) pathogens livestock, which can have significant consequences health food chain, also structural damage buildings crops. As there are large differences both farm conditions vectors, management come with serious difficulties. Thus, present generic framework that helps develop more tailor-made approach on farms, will hopefully contribute effective interventions.
