Recent population growth, urbanization, increasing incomes and changes in diet preferences are creating a massive growth in demand for animal products in the developing world. This trend has resulted in a higher concentration of animals in urban and peri-urban areas. This poses a risk of introducing zoonoses to urban areas. The increased food supply requires further stringent control to guarantee that consumers receive food which is safe from food borne diseases. This book highlights the importance of zoonoses in different livestock keeping systems in (peri-) urban and rural areas and along the marketing chain in Africa. HACCP is discussed as a method to assess the risk and to control zoonoses. Different options for control of zoonoses are provided. The method and options discussed in this book are applicable to livestock production and marketing systems in other developing countries, and should be especially useful to professionals working in Livestock Development and Public Health fields, or anyone else dealing with zoonoses or the production of animal products.
