Publisher's Synopsis
This volume, which presents the papers of the general sessions as well as those of two symposia held at the third biennial meting of the Society for Tropical Veterinary Medicine, links the globally important issues of vector-borne pathogens and international trade. Papers show advances in the prevention and control of diseases relative to animals as well as zoonotic disease. Another section of the book deals with eradication of the Bont and other ticks, heartwater disease, bluetongue, and vesicular stomatitis. The implications of these animal diseases are explored in relation to the increase of international trade fostered by the GATT and NAFTA.
