Thrustfield, M.

9781405156271 - Veterinary epidemiology
Secondhand

Article description

This successful book, now in its third edition, continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to the role of epidemiology in veterinary medicine. Since the publication of the second edition there has been considerable expansion in the application of veterinary epidemiology: more quantitative methods are available, challenges such as the epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease in Europe in 2001 have required epidemiological investigation, and epidemiological analyses have taken on further importance with the emergence of evidence-based veterinary medicine. In this edition: * Completely revised and expanded chapters; * Increased attention given to the principles and concepts of epidemiology, surveillance, and diagnostic-test validation and performance; * Many examples are drawn from both large and small animal medicine, and from the developing as well as the developed world * This paperback edition includes a new section on risk analysis. Veterinary Epidemiology is an invaluable reference source for veterinary general practitioners, government veterinarians, agricultural economists and members of other disciplines interested in animal disease.
