A. James
National and international impacts of animal diseases 381-389
       

Summary
It is not useful to attempt to estimate the total cost of animal diseases. The impact of animal disease can only be assessed in terms of the costs and benefits of alternative practical disease control policies. The techniques used in animal disease economics are reviewed and their potential value in decision-making discussed. The direct and indirect economic impacts of animal diseases and control programmes are discussed.

Keywords
 Animal diseases, Animal disease economics, Economics, Exotic animal disease, Risk analysis.
