Atlas of Transboundary Animal Diseases

OIE's Bestseller.
The Atlas of Transboundary Animal Diseases 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.

Terrestrial Animal Health Code 2011

The aim of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code (Terrestrial Code) is to contribute to improve animal health and welfare worldwide and to assure the sanitary safety of international trade in animals (mammals, birds and bees) and their products. This is achieved through the detailing of health measures to be used by the Veterinary Authorities of importing and exporting countries to avoid the transfer of agents pathogenic for animals or humans, while avoiding unjustified trade barriers. 

Aquatic Animal Health Code 2011

The aim of the Aquatic Animal Health Code (Aquatic Code) is to assure the sanitary safety of international trade in aquatic animals (amphibians, crustaceans, fish and molluscs) and their products. This is achieved through the detailing of health measures to be used by the Competent Authorities of importing and exporting countries to avoid the transfer of agents pathogenic for aquatic animals or humans, while avoiding unjustified trade barriers.

Models in the management of animal diseases
Scientific and Technical Review 30 (2)

The purpose of this issue of the Review is to encourage and facilitate worldwide improvement in the understanding of the ways in which national Veterinary Services and their partners can make use of models in the prevention and control of animal diseases.

The spread of pathogens through international trade
Scientific and Technical Review 30 (1)

This issue of the Review brings together an important collection of well-researched papers by internationally-recognised experts. It aims to document the real, rather than hypothetical, risks from international trade in animals and animal products and compares these with the risks from some of the other means by which pathogens are disseminated. The measures available to mitigate risks are also examined.

World Animal Health 2010

World Animal Health presents a synthesis of animal health information from OIE Members as well as from non OIE Member coutnries. This publication provides a unique tool for all those involved in animal production, wildlife disease surveillance, international trade in animals and animal products and the epidemiology and control of animal diseases, including zoonoses. The 2010 edition carries over the improvements already included in the previous edition by allowing countries and territories to report their animal health status in domestic and wildlife populations separately, when relevant. This helps in improving surveillance and transparency in the notification of diseases in wild species, without putting in place unjustified trade barriers that are not complying with the provisions of the specific chapters of the OIE Terrestrial and Aquatic Animal Health Codes.
