New technology will "reduce the animal derived disease '

According to control than large ranging from genomics, [Nairobi] new technology mobile phone use fundamental understanding and animal-borne disease cause the 2200000 developing countries, human death every year, mainly new reports will improve.


These para-veterinary technician-basic techniques such as rapid diagnostic kit disease rapid diagnosis and a veterinarian ( veterinary assistant), to enable a diagnostic report to be given through a central data-based text message contains.


To monitor the change of land use using remote sensing satellite technologies to predict the emergence of disease can be used.


Large livestock population developing countries, are responsible for the largest burden of zoonotic diseases transmitted to humans especially from Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Tanzania, poor communities and livestock.


Annually, these diseases according to the global research released last month (7/2 ) map the hotspots of the zoonoses can cause 2400000000 disease.


In public health laboratory animal research laboratory, the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) by the Department for international development of the United Kingdom report Kenya (IOZ), UK, Hanoi ( HSPH ) Hanoi were produced.


It said the treatment and zoonotic infectious disease control — such as tapeworms, Rift Valley fever, anthrax, brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis — the is hampered, leading to the disease under reporting, especially the African continent-specific, such as in.


For example, in sub-Saharan Africa appear on 99.9% livestock loss official reports of illness.


The reporting in most countries is the current system is good in theory, communication does not work to a higher level from the commune in the village to the reality, Han said one of author Nguyen, HSPH public health and ecological researchers, and reports.


, Good affordable price report scale-up to set targets to cut, measure the current zoonoses of vaccine availability problem diagnosis is a veterinary epidemiologist, ILRI and study researcher Grace Delia to decrease all the important issues said. 


"Poor human animal disease in the three main influences continue: number of 1 billion people sick people; In the. They kill millions; and reducing animal productivity, lead to a loss of export markets, "and she said. "Rift Valley fever, for example, cost Africa exports each of millions of years".


"Suffering from what the animals and people quickly people good, can provide proper treatment to identify is more rapid diagnosis is important. Also enhance important food safety system at the same time many of these diseases that is sent through the food, "added grace.


According to researchers from the Nairobi University School of veterinary medicine, good animal husbandry and veterinary para trained Caleb Wangia, mitigation may be the burden of poor people.


"Habitat of the grazing problem pick diseases such as anthrax, brucellosis in livestock and wildlife animal farmers sometimes is. Often catch the dead animal death and you know the cause of the illness without themselves, open people "said the Wanga.


In addition to the implementation of new technologies, awareness of the dangers of these activities is important people protection against animal diseases.


"But in most diseases in poor countries, disease detection of most rich countries is," said in grace SciDev.Net. "Disease management to invest in detection and sources I want to".
