Definición

  • Veterinary epidemiology is a specialized area within veterinary medicine that was historically termed epizootiology until the mid-1990s. Like human epidemiology, it involves identifying risk factors for diseases, characterizing outbreaks, quantifying incidence and prevalence, describing the natural history of disease, developing disease control and prevention programs, and assessing the effectiveness of these programs.
