Animal diseases that are known to spread primarily through human
activities can be prevented and controlled through the application of
biosecurity measures along the production and marketing chain, together
with increased awareness and education. It is this notion that makes
biosecurity so critically important in the prevention, control and
elimination of transboundary animal diseases (TADs), with the focus on
changing the habits and behaviours of people in such a way that the risk
of disease transmission is decreased. A key aspect is to work with people
to adopt biosecurity measures and to develop with them sets of safe
practices in production that are seen as practical, cost-effective and
sustainable.
