Abstract
The beneficial effects which can arise from disease control and eradication are described. The point is made that many diseases are zoonotic and the fringe benefits arising from the eradication of such diseases as tuberculosis and brucellosis are discussed. Examples are chosen from parasitological diseases to show that eradication is impossible with many of them and that many factors have to be considered before embarking on a control programme which might be uneconomic. Bovine mastitis is singled out as the most important cause of loss to the dairy industry and the cost and benefits of mastitis control are described. The point is made that disease control opens the way for animals to reach a high potential provided advantage is taken of the disease free situation.
