Pan African Animal Health Yearbook 2004

Abstract

As part of monitoring the disease situation across the continent, IBAR gathers monthly disease reports and immediate notification of the occurrence of emergency disease from AU member countries. Based on these reports, the disease situation in the continent is analysed and summary reports are presented in the annual publication of the Pan African Animal Health Yearbook. By the end of 2002, after a lull of five years, the publication of this Yearbook was revitalised by the Data Management Unit (DMU) of the Pan African Programme for the Control of Epizootics (PACE) of AU-IBAR. So far, two issues have been published and the current Yearbook is the third. The few monthly disease occurrence reports received during 2001 were also summarised and information on the disease situation was distributed to member countries and other partners
