This book primarily focuses on the African Sahel region, shedding new light on the epidemiology, socio-economics, clinical manifestations and control approaches of transboundary animal diseases (TADs) in this specific region. Each individual chapter deals with one specific disease and was written by a group of experts specialized in the topic. The Sahel, one of the poorest regions in the world, forms the transitional zone between the North African Sahara and the more humid Sudanian Savanna. This region simultaneously faces the challenges of extreme poverty, the effects of climate change, frequent food crises, rapid population growth, the risk of violent extremism and radicalization, illicit trafficking and terrorist-linked security threats. Addressing these and other topics, the book will be of considerable interest to all basic researchers and veterinarians whose work involves infectious diseases, and is a must-have for scientists specialized in the characteristics of the Sahel region.
