SECTION IV
DISEASES PREVENTABLE BY VACCINATION
Our country is endemic to many diseases that
cause severe economic losses due to drastic
reduction in the production capacity . Some of
the diseases are even highly fatal. Fortunately,
vaccines are available for most of these diseases
(except IBR)in our country and can be easily
controlled if timely vaccination is carried out
in a mass scale, covering a large proportion of
the susceptible population (at least 80%). This
section describes the following diseases that
can be easily prevented by resorting to timely
and regular vaccination:
A. Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD)
B. Haemorrhagic Septicaemia (HS)
C. Black Quarter (BQ)
D. Brucellosis
E. Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR)
