Problems change with time Brucellosis Tuberculosis Foot and mouth disease
Types of disease Emerging diseases Endemic diseases Foreign diseases

Infectious Diseases
Infectious disease Caused by a pathogen that can invade (infect)
and then multiply in a susceptible animal Pathogens
Bacteria Protozoa Viruses Fungi Rickettsia

In short These organisms enter the body of
susceptible animals and cause an illness in that animal

Concern Movement of animals introduces these
pathogens into susceptible populations
US constantly on look out TAHC USDA-APHIS USDA-VS

Non-Infectious Diseases
Non-infectious disease Caused by toxins (chemical poisoning) or by
malfunctioning of the body (as nutritional disorders)
Result of environmental or behavioral changes

In domestic populations Infectious problems reduced
Disease Non-infectious problems increased
Cancer Heart disease
Control Eat healthier foods Smoke less Get more exercise

Zoonotic Disease that is shared between animals and
people Rabies West nile virus Anthrax
Animal and human agencies work together in disease outbreaks

Sentinel animals See problems in these animals before see in
people

Health and Well-Being
Preventive health management Vaccinate Biosecurity Cooperation between state and federal
agencies

Preventive measures Identify reservoirs through surveillance Prevent exposure Develop immunity Provide good nutrition Provide adequate physical activity Develop optimum environmental conditions Develop selection and breeding programs
