Veterinary Epidemiology: Protecting Animal Health and Promoting Public Health

Elijah Nicolson

Veterinary epidemiology is a specialized field that plays a critical role in safeguarding animal health, improving animal welfare, and protecting public health. It involves the study of diseases in animal populations, analysing their causes, patterns of occurrence, and implementing preventive measures. By understanding the dynamics of diseases in animals and their potential impact on human health, veterinary epidemiologists contribute to the development of effective strategies for disease prevention, surveillance, and control. In this article, we will explore the significance of veterinary epidemiology, its key principles, and its vital role in promoting the well-being of animals and humans alike.
