BIOSECURITY.
Following simple but specific protocols everyday to positively influence animal health, food safety and public health.
What are the basic protocols in biosecurity? READ
Biosecurity basically entails, prevention of pathogens from entering premises to ensure there is no disease incidence, and curtail spread of diseases in cases of outbreaks.
Pathogens are disease causing microorganisms that usually have devastating effect on animals, resulting in decreased production and death in severe cases.
Pathogens can be bacteria, viruses, fungi and prion.
.
The animal kingdom is riddled with several pathogens that wreck havoc on these animals irrespective of specie.
These pathogens are also of importance to man, especially when these cause zoonotic diseases.
Zoonotic diseases are spread from animals to man, and sometimes there is a reverse zoonoses where man actually spreads the disease to their animals.
Route of transmission.
The basic routes are:
Direct contact.
Aerosol.
Oral.
Formites.
Vector borne
Zoonoses.
Reproduction.
Environmental contamination.
Mode of transmission.
Direct contact ;disease spread by contact with open wounds, mucous membrane of an infected animal or its secretions/tissue fluids.
Disease can also spread through contact with reproductive fluid(blood, urine and saliva) during breeding, or from mother to offspring.
Aerosol; droplets containing the pathogenic agent travel in air and are inhaled as respiratory droplets by animals
Oral; ingestion of the pathogenic agent from contaminated feed ,chewing/licking contaminated objects in environment and water.
Formites; spread of the pathogen through contact with inanimate objects contaminated by infected animals.
Man can act as formites by transferring these pathogens in through soiled boots, gloves or tools.
