Manual of Diagnostic Tests & Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals
2012 (2 Vol Set)
Edited
The aim is to facilitate international trade in animals and animal products
and to contribute to the improvement of animal health services world-wide.
The principal target readership is laboratories carrying out veterinary
diagnostic tests and surveillance, plus vaccine manufacturers and regulatory
authorities in Member Countries. The objective is to provide internationally
agreed diagnostic laboratory methods and requirements for the production
and control of vaccines and other biological products. The Terrestrial
Manual, covering infectious and parasitic diseases of mammals, birds and
bees, was first published in 1989. Each successive edition has extended
and updated the information provided. This seventh edition includes over
50 updated chapters and guidelines (including a new guideline on the application
of biotechnology to the development of veterinary vaccines, and the addition
of epizootic haemorrhagic disease to the relevant chapter). This edition
has a slightly different structure from former editions: Part 1 contains
ten introductory chapters that set general standards for the management
of veterinary diagnostic laboratories and vaccine production facilities;
Part 2 comprises chapters on OIE listed diseases and other diseases of
importance to international trade; Part 3 comprises four guidelines that
have been developed on topics such as biotechnology and antimicrobial
susceptibility testing that are intended to give a brief introduction
to their subjects (they are to be regarded as background information rather
than strict standards); and Part 4 is the list of OIE Reference Centres
at the time of publication.
