Isolated regions of the world are often at the forefront of
emerging diseases and, to be effective in disease prevention and
control, they require basic resources for field sample collection
and testing in conditions vastly different from those available in
well-equipped reference laboratories. Technical support for field
extension staff, and the availability of reliable diagnostic
testing facilities, are also vital to ensure sustainable
livelihoods for subsistence farmers. This technical handbook aims
to provide an easy to follow overview of the basic laboratory
techniques, and sample collection guidelines, that we consider
useful for staff working in district veterinary facilities in
regions that lack the infrastructural support available for staff
with ready access to national veterinary laboratories. The
Veterinary Laboratory and Field Manual 3rd Edition provides the
reader with a summary of basic diagnostic procedures and sample
submission guidelines and also advocates for improved communication
between animal health extension staff, veterinarians, laboratory
staff and farmers. Case studies are used to illustrate key
concepts. Basic laboratory disciplines are covered including -
parasitology, microbiology, haematology, serology / immunology and
pathology. There are also sections on laboratory infrastructure and
equipment. There is additional content on common clinical
presentations, One Health approaches to Antimicrobial resistance,
the role of the OIE, disease surveillance and wildlife disease
monitoring. Supplementary tools for use in the field and laboratory
are also available online. This new edition of The Veterinary
Laboratory and Field Manual is updated to include content on pen
side tests, selection and integration of new technologies,
engagement with international agencies and programs, and the One
Health approach to disease monitoring. Animal Health extension
staff in isolated regions of the world, and NGOs, can benefit from
this book as well as policy makers supporting veterinary work in
rural areas and veterinary para-professionals involved in One
Health work.
