Since the mid 1990s the term transboundary animal disease (TAD) has become widely used for a group of major infectious diseases of livestock with important economic impact. This article explains why the term is so appropriate and examines the severe direct and indirect consequences these diseases have when they cross borders. The paper also looks at the control of TADs and how improved control and trade can take place without having to eradicate them.
自20世纪90年代中期以来，“跨界动物疾病”（TAD）一词已被广泛用于指代一类对家畜具有重大经济影响的主要传染病。本文解释了为何该术语如此贴切，并审视了这些疾病跨境传播时所产生的严重直接和间接后果。本文还探讨了跨界动物疾病的防控，以及如何在不必根除这些疾病的情况下加强防控和贸易。
