These proceedings cover the papers presented at a workshop in Vietnam

This publication is a record of papers presented at a workshop in Maputo, Mozambique 6-9 March, 2000 on Newcastle disease in village chickens

The drive in Southeast Asia to satisfy the increasing demand for animal protein has resulted in many changes to common agricultural practices

Jembrana is a disease similar to rinderpest, and found to affect Indonesian cattle and buffalo

Small ruminants are important to the nations of tropical and subtropical Asia and the Pacific Islands, but their productivity is severely constrained by inadequate nutrition and gastrointestinal parasites

In most of Asia, bluetongue is an infection which has existed since cattle, buffalo and deer have been present

Australia and Thailand have collaborated for six years to study foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), a disease which is endemic in Asia

OUT OF STOCK Joint research into bovine ephemeral fever involving China and Australia was instigated in response to a massive epidemic in 1983

OUT OF STOCK Newcastle disease (ND) is a widespread and important cause of loss in productivity of village poultry

Partners for July to October 2007 features articles on biosecurity, including research addressing Avian Influenza (Birdflu), pig viruses, eucalypt rust, and potato and banana diseases.

Australia has supported the implementation of effective village chicken production programs in Asia, Africa and Latin America, including several research projects funded by ACIAR. This investment in research and development, always in collaboration with producers, traders and other stakeholders, has been shown to increase poultry numbers, household purchasing power, home consumption of chicken products (resulting in improved nutrition for families) and the decision-making power of women. This manual is focused on developing countries.

This monograph addresses the knowledge gaps in the genetics, immunology, epidemiology and control of liver fluke disease.

This book and the accompanying CD draw together information from a number of sources to describe the state of research and development on worm control in Asia and the Pacific

This manual describes the procedures needed to produce and test live, thermostable avirulent I-2 vaccine against Newcastle disease of poultry

This manual aims to assist trainers to enable farmers to become successful community vaccinators against ND

This manual aims to present information that will enable veterinary departments and development agencies to implement a sustainable Newcastle Disease control program

OUT OF STOCK Livestock diseases cause enormous losses through death and decreased production impacting directly on food security and local economics

Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is an acute, fatal, septicaemic disease of cattle and buffaloes caused by specific serotypes of the bacterium Pasteurella multocida

This book deals with a series of techniques for the collection of animal health information in developing countries The techniques have been developed to provide high quality information at a minimal cost, taking infrastructure and other constraints into account
