Resumen
Descripción
Animal diseases, especially Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs), affect animal productivity, human welfare, and the economy. TAD outbreaks can have significant economic impacts at various levels, with costs borne by governments, industries, and small producers. Understanding these costs helps prioritize resources and evaluate control strategies. The OutCosT tool is designed to assess the direct costs of avian diseases, such as avian influenza and Newcastle disease, though it doesn’t account for indirect costs like global trade or human health. This manual guides users on how to use OutCosT to evaluate epidemic costs and control measures.
