Advances in Animal Disease Surveillance and Information Systems and Their Role in Disease Control and Prevention: Implications in Ethiopia

Advanced technologies enable effective animal disease surveillance and information systems, and support successful animal health management and decision-making. Ethiopian animal disease surveillance and information systems are mainly based on conventional methods with limited applications of advanced technologies. Thus, we recommend a special emphasis on the development and application of advanced technologies and the establishment of effective animal disease surveillance and information systems to protect animal health and welfare, promote international trade in animals and animal products and safeguard public health.
