Description
Veterinary Epidemiology is an introductory text to the general concepts and fundamental principles of veterinary epidemiology. This book is composed of 20 chapters that consider the vital role of statistics in the field. The introductory chapters review the historical development of veterinary medicine, some general epidemiological concepts, and disease occurrence. The subsequent chapters deal with the transmission of infection and the ecology, patterns, and nature of veterinary diseases. These topics are followed by discussions of the importance of basic statistics and computer knowledge in the recording and analysis of epidemiological data. Other chapters consider the assays and modeling of serological epidemiology. The final chapters look into the economics and control of epidemiological diseases. This book will prove useful to veterinarians and undergraduate and graduate veterinary students.
