 A foreign animal disease entering the U.S. could be very costly, both in terms of animal lives and dollars lost. We are fortunate that our animal populations are free of many of the limiting diseases present in other parts of the world.
The value of our animal industries rests in the security that we will remain free of those foreign diseases. Given the current trends toward increasing mobility of human populations and tremendous amounts of international trade, that security is tenuous. Our ability to deal with and eradicate a disease is predicated largely on the potential of rapid diagnosis. Unfortunately, our schools of veterinary medicine provide limited training in the recognition of foreign animal diseases.
This series of programs is designed to simulate a foreign animal disease outbreak for veterinary students to work through and gain a greater familiarity with these exotic threats. Case simulations are entirely fictional and designed for instruction and increased awareness. They do not represent actual events. |
