Abstract
The Journal of the South African Veterinary Association (JSAVA), is a contemporary multi-disciplinary scientific mouthpiece for Veterinary Science in South African and abroad. It provides veterinarians in South Africa and elsewhere in the world with current scientific information across the full spectrum of veterinary science, diseases or other conditions that are endemic in, or particularly relevant to sub-Saharan Africa.
Highlights
One of the recurring questions – largely rhetorical – within the veterinary fraternity in South Africa concerns the relative impact and cost of some of the major epidemic and endemic diseases that confront us, those caused by ticks and tick-borne diseases (TTBD)
This excellent compendium of 16 papers dealing with the economics of disease control makes 2 points on this issue
In the modern world, where the economics of production are increasingly important and complex, we probably have a lesson to learn from the latter group
Summary
A interesting statement, by R S Morris, contends that the net economic benefit obtained from investment funds directed towards controlling animal diseases is commonly in the range of 200–1500 %, while the yields derived from investment in other activities in the livestock sector are commonly about 20 %. One of the recurring questions – largely rhetorical – within the veterinary fraternity in South Africa concerns the relative impact and cost of some of the major epidemic and endemic diseases that confront us, those caused by ticks and tick-borne diseases (TTBD). This excellent compendium of 16 papers dealing with the economics of disease control makes 2 points on this issue.
