    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Animal Health
    • Epizootiology

    Background:

    • Infectious diseases pose significant challenges to food-producing animals.
    • Understanding disease epizootiology, including agent properties and host factors, is crucial for control.
    • Intensive animal husbandry practices introduce unique disease risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review factors influencing infectious disease epizootiology in food animals.
    • To examine the impact of intensive animal husbandry on disease occurrence and control.
    • To discuss current and future strategies for infectious disease control in livestock.

    Main Methods:

    • Summary of infectious agent properties and natural history.
    • Analysis of factors in intensive animal husbandry affecting disease.
    • Review of available disease control methods and their global, national, and local effectiveness.

    Main Results:

    • Intensive farming practices (density, movement, management, hygiene, genetics) promote new and multifactorial diseases.
    • Control programs for globally important diseases show variable success.
    • Enzootic diseases require ongoing, specific control procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Molecular biology and immunology advancements are key to future disease control.
    • Improved diagnostics, enhanced animal resistance, and novel vaccines will revolutionize disease management.
    • Integrated strategies are necessary for effective control at all levels.
