Extract

The purpose of this paper is to summarise the various means available for eliminating/eradicating disease and the economic consequences. Success rates for various diseases are discussed and summarised. A specific UK example is given to illustrate the planning and work that is required, as well as the cash flow over a twelve-month period. A typical timetable of events for eradicating/eliminating endemic diseases present in the UK and Ireland is discussed, as is the potential for regional/national eradication.
