    This syllabus outlines the topics covered in a course on veterinary epidemiology and zoonoses. The theory component will cover definitions and methods of epidemiology, factors influencing animal diseases, sources of disease data and information, surveillance and management of animal diseases, economics of diseases, and regulations on trade. It will also define and classify zoonotic diseases, their impacts, reservoirs, and management approaches. Specific zoonoses like rabies, anthrax, and brucellosis will be examined. The practical component involves collecting epidemiological samples, conducting surveys, using epidemiological software, isolating and identifying zoonotic pathogens, and examining relationships between human and animal diseases in rural communities.

    VPE-321: Veterinary Epidemiology and Zoonoses (2+1)

    SYLLABUS
    THEORY
    Definitions and aims of epidemiology. Factors influencing occurrence of livestock
    diseases and production. Ecological basis and natural history of diseases. Sources,
    Storage, retrieval and representation of disease information/data. Epidemiological
    hypothesis. Epidemiological methods: descriptive, analytical (observational),
    experimental, theoretical (modeling), serological and molecular. Survey of animal
    diseases. Surveillance and monitoring of livestock diseases. Animal disease forecasting.
    Strategies of disease management: prevention, control and eradication. Economics of
    animal diseases. National and International regulations on livestock diseases. Role of
    OIE and laws on international trade on animals and animal products.
    Definition, history and socio-economic impact of zoonotic diseases. Classification of
    zoonoses and approaches to their management. New, emerging, re-emerging and
    occupational zoonoses. Role of domestic, wild, pet and laboratory animals and birds in
    transmission of zoonoses. Zoonotic pathogens as agents of bio-terrorism. Reservoirs,
    clinical manifestations in animals and humans, and the management of the following
    zoonoses: rabies, Japanese encephalitis, Kyasanur forest disease, influenza, anthrax,
    brucellosis, tuberculosis, leptospirosis, listeriosis, plague, rickettsiosis, chlamydiosis and
    dermatatophytosis. Food borne zoonoses: salmonellosis, staphylococcosis, clostridial
    food poisoning, campylobacteriosis, helminthosis, toxoplasmosis and sarcocystosis.
    Veterinary Public Health Administration.
    PRACTICAL

    Collection of epidemiological samples. Measurement of disease: determination of


    morbidity and mortality rates/ratios. Generation of epidemiological protocols and
    reports. Demonstration of selected software programmes/models e.g. EPIZOO,
    HandiSTATUS and India-Admas-EPITRAK. Evaluation of vaccines and diagnostic tests.
    Determination of Associations and risks: relative risk, Odds ratio and attributable risk.
    Survey of an animal disease on a farm.
    Field survey of zoonotic diseases. Concurrent isolation and identification of important
    pathogens of zoonotic important from animal and human sources including foods of
    animal origin and their interpretation. Study of rural environment and health status of
    rural community. Visit to primary health centre/human hospital and study of the
    common diseases affecting rural/urban population, and probable relationships of these
    human disease conditions with animal diseases present in the area.
