Foreign Animal
Disease Online Course
In January 2002,
Humanitarian Resource Institute announced the development of a Foreign Animal and Zoonotic Disease Center, which provides
access to online educational resources for both medical and veterinary professionals
(1.16.2002: Agricultural Security: Veterinary and Scientific
Experts Outline Priority Issues) . In an effort
to enhance training for the recognition of Foreign Animal Disease's
for field veterinarians, we have developed the following educational resource.

Introduction
The objective
of this education initiative to enhance the capability of the veterinary
professional to suspect and assist in the diagnosis of a foreign disease
in livestock or companion animals. This course is designed in a self-study
format whereby the student utilizes the online OIE: Data by Disease to learn the definitions, etiology,
host range, geographic distribution, transmission, incubation period, pathogenesis,
clinical signs, gross legions, diagnosis, control and eradication and public
health variables. Note: The Foreign Animal Diseases
Online Test will concentrate on these agents. Additional study materials have been provided to further
support this educational objective.
Your registration will be submitted in conjunction with
the completion of the Foreign Animal
Diseases Online Test.
