The World Organisation for Animal Health (commonly referred to bythe acronym of its original French name Office International des Epizooties [OIE]) was created in 1924 with the aim of controlling the international spread of infectious animal diseases. The OIE mandate has broadened since then, but the prevention and control of infectious and parasitic diseases are still at the heart of OIE activities. To plan and implement effective disease control strategies the Veterinary Services of OIE Member Countries need well-educated veterinarians who have extensive knowledge of how and why outbreaks of infectious animal diseases occur and spread and how they can be prevented and controlled. The teaching of fundamental scientific disciplines - virology, bacteriology, parasitology, epidemiology, risk analysis, immunology and vaccinology--is therefore a vital component of all veterinary education programmes.
世界动物卫生组织（通常以其法文原名国际兽疫局[OIE]的首字母缩写来称呼）成立于1924年，目的是控制动物传染病的国际传播。自那时以来，OIE的任务范围有所扩大，但传染病和寄生虫病的预防与控制仍是OIE活动的核心。为了规划和实施有效的疾病控制策略，OIE成员国的兽医服务部门需要受过良好教育的兽医，他们要对动物传染病的暴发如何发生和传播以及为何如此，以及如何预防和控制这些疾病有广泛的了解。因此，基础科学学科——病毒学、细菌学、寄生虫学、流行病学、风险分析、免疫学和疫苗学——的教学是所有兽医教育计划的重要组成部分。
