Animal diseases that are known to spread primarily through human activities can be prevented and controlled through the application of biosecurity measures along the production and marketing chain, together with increased awareness and education. It is this notion that makes biosecurity so critically important in the prevention, control and elimination of transboundary animal diseases (TADs), with the focus on changing the habits and behaviours of people in such a way that the risk of disease transmission is decreased. A key aspect is to work with people to adopt biosecurity measures and to develop with them sets of safe practices in production that are seen as practical, cost-effective and sustainable.
