Prevention, Control, Eradication of Disease Flashcards
Primary Prevention
Aimed at maintaining a healthy population - preventing the occurrence of a disease
Control
Steps taken to reduce a disease problem to a tolerable level and maintain it at that level
Methods of information, education, communication and training nationally
Surveillance and monitoring
Centers for Epidemiology and Animal Health (CEAH)
National Centers for Animal Health Emergency Management and Animal Health Programs
Vaccination, border security, meat hygiene, inspection and removing specified risk material from food/feed are examples of what type of prevention
Primary
Practical Eradication
Elimination of organism from the reservoirs of importance to humans or their domestic animals, as opposed to total eradication
Tertiary Prevention
Consists of rehabilitation after primary and secondary prevention have failed, applies mostly to the individual.
The goal is to reduce complications, slow down the progression and reduce the severity of the symptoms
Methods of reservoir neutralization
Removing infected individuals
Rendering infected individuals non shedders
Manipulating environment
Three levels of Animal Health Law and Regulation enforcement
International
National
State
Screening for breast cancer, physical exams with annual vaccines and test and slaughter programs are examples of what kind of prevention
Secondary Prevention
Methods of reducing contact potential
Isolation or treatment of cases
Quarantine of possible infected
Population control and reduction
Total Eradication
Disease agent has been completely removed from the area of concern
Secondary Prevention
Attempts to minimize damage after disease has occurred
Eradication
Final step in disease control efforts, consists of complete elimination of the disease producing agent from a defined geographic region
Management of diabetes, corrective shoes for navicular disease, claw amputation for septic arthritis are examples of what type of prevention
Tertiary prevention
Methods of increasing host resistance
Genetic Selection, Good Welfare
Chemoprophylaxis
Vaccination
