Das TierSeuchen-Nachrichten-System (TSN) ist seit 1995 als elektronisches System zur Erfassung, Ubertragung und Auswertung aller anzeigepflichtigen Tierseuchen und seit 1997 auch der meldepflichtigen, Tierkrankheiten in Deutschland etabliert. Im April2009 wurde die dritte Generation des TSN freigeschaltet. In diesem Artikel werden die wichtigsten Neuigkeiten der Version TSN 3.0, insbesondere das Tierseuchen-Krisenmodul, vorgestellt. Dieses Modul bietet Veterinaramtern erweiterte Hilfe zur Planung und Dokumentation, u.a. durch verdichtete Informationen im intuitiv geleiteten Uberblick im "Krisen-Explorer".

PERSISTENT neuropathic postoperative pain is a major health problem. It is highly important to find therapies that prevent or reduce chronic neuropathic postoperative pain. The current issue of Anesthesiology contains an animal study by Li et al. that examines the role of a systemic glucocorticoid (triamcinolone acetonide) on aspects of pain and inflammation using the spinal nerve ligation model. This model is traditionally considered a neuropathic pain model, but involves surgery and evokes an inflammatory response linked to pain behavior, In their study, Li et al. demonstrate that systemic injections of a glucocorticoid reduce apparent pain behavior, proinfiammatory cytokines, overall neuronal firing rate, incidence of bursting activity, and abnormal sympathetic sprouting in dorsal root ganglia.

Over the past decade there has been a notable increase in the magnitude and variety of modelling work in the realm of animal health. Similarly, there has been an increase in the extent to which modelling is used as a component in the development of animal health policy. The increased dependency on modelling creates a need to enhance understanding and linkages between policy-makers (those that pose the policy or scientific questions, commission modelling work and use model outputs in the development of policy), intermediaries (those that are responsible for working with modellers and communicating model results to policy-makers), and modellers. Development of a lexicon of disease spread modelling terms can help support clear communication and collaboration between all players.

Epidemiological modelling can be a powerful tool to assist animal health policy development and disease prevention and control. Models can vary from simple deterministic mathematical models through to complex spatially-explicit stochastic simulations and decision support systems. The approach used will vary depending on the purpose of the study, how well the epidemiology of a disease is understood, the amount and quality of data available, and the background and experience of the modellers. Epidemiological models can be classified into various categories depending on their treatment of variability, chance and uncertainty (deterministic or stochastic), time (continuous or discrete intervals), space (non-spatial or spatial) and the structure of the population (homogenous or heterogeneous mixing). The increasing sophistication of computers, together with greater recognition of the importance of spatial elements in the spread and control of disease, mean that models which incorporate spatial components are becoming more important in epidemiological studies. Multidisciplinary approaches using a range of new technologies make it possible to build more sophisticated models of animal disease. New generation epidemiological models enable disease to be studied in the context of physical, economic, technological, health, media and political infrastructures. To be useful in policy development, models must be fit for purpose and appropriately verified and validated. This involves ensuring that the model is an adequate representation of the system under study and that its outputs are sufficiently accurate and precise for the intended purpose. Finally, models are just one tool for providing technical advice, and should not be considered in isolation from data from experimental and field studies.

According to the world organisation for animal health (OIE) an emerging disease is defined as a recently admitted serious illness, whose aetiology can, or not, have already been established, and which is likely to be propagated within a population or between populations, for example at the time of international exchanges of aquatic animals and/or products of aquatic animals. Even though the emerging diseases that affect human health have been much studied, those which affect marine organisms and species of aquaculture interest in particular are poorly documented. By restricting emergence to only infectious diseases, we aim at presenting in a non-exhaustive way some scenarios of the emergence of the diseases of aquacultured species by illustrating them with three examples available in the scientific literature: one relating to the appearance of a pathogenic agent in a new host with the case of the herpesvirus of the Koi carp, the other with the evolution of a pre-existing pathogenic agent with the case of shrimp vibriosis due to Vibrio nigripulchritudo in New Caledonia, and the last example relating to the introduction of one pathogenic pre-existing pathogen in an unscathed area with the case of Bonamia ostreae infecting the flat oyster Ostrea edulis. The causes of the emergence of diseases are multiple and implicate in an intercurrent way pathogenic agents, the environment, the host or host species and anthropogenic factors. In the marine environment, these causes are very often ignored. In this context, the development of zoosanitary surveillance networks and diagnostic tools present a considerable interest in order to anticipate, prevent and/or intervene on the emergence of the diseases by limiting their sanitary, ecological and political consequences.

Zoonoses are estimated to make up to 75% of today's emerging infectious diseases. Many of these diseases are carried and transmitted by exotic pets and wildlife. Exotic animal practitioners must be aware of these risks not only to protect their health but also to safeguard the health of staff and clients. This article reviews selected bacterial and parasitic zoonoses associated with exotic animals.

A joint statement issued by the UN FAO and WHO that chicken, other poultry and eggs are safe to eat if cooked properly is discussed. Poultry should be cooked at or above 70degC (a temp. sufficient to kill the HN51 virus) throughout the product so that no meat remains red and raw. Egg yolks should not be runny or liquid. To date, there is no epidemiological data to suggest that people have become infected after eating contaminated poultry meat that has been properly cooked. Recommendations for good hygienic practice to reduce exposure to the virus in areas with outbreaks in poultry are given.

The move by food authorities in several countries to reassure consumers that chicken and other poultry are safe to eat during the current outbreak of avian flu, and that it is a disease of poultry and that humans infected to date have been in direct contact with live or dead poultry, are discussed. Cooking kills H5N1 within seconds of reaching 70degC and there is no risk from eating properly cooked poultry meat or eggs.
