Epizootiology is a branch of veterinary science that studies the patterns of occurrence and spread of infectious diseases among livestock animals. Understanding the mechanisms of the epizootic process is necessary to prevent mass disease outbreaks, which can cause significant economic damage to livestock farms. Knowledge of the fundamentals of infection transmission and the structure of the epizootic chain allows specialists to identify threats in a timely manner and effectively implement measures for the protection of the herd.
This selection of materials covers both theoretical aspects of the discipline and the specifics of particular pathologies. The articles provide a detailed analysis of the fundamental principles of infection spread, as well as the epizootiological and clinical characteristics of strangles in horses, including pathways of pathogen transmission and disease symptomatology. Studying this information will help agronomists and farm owners to gain a deeper understanding of the diagnostics of infectious processes and the principles of ensuring veterinary welfare at livestock facilities.
