• Quarantine: Isolation of diseased animals (or animals suspected of being diseased) so the risk of spread to other susceptible animals is reduced. Often accompanied by other biosecurity measures relating to movement controls, hygiene and disinfection.
• Slaughter of diseased animals: May be accompanied by slaughter of high-risk contact animals in emergency disease control (eg Foot-and-Mouth disease outbreaks in some countries) and disposal of carcasses and other infectious material.
• Vaccination: May be to reduce spread of disease during an outbreak or as part of longer term eradication programs to reduce circulating infection.
• Treatment: Administration of drugs (antibiotics or anthelmintics) may be used as part of a control program or to reduce risk of diseases from occurring.
• Control of animal movements: Often part of quarantine measures to prevent disease spread. May also be used more routinely eg controlled grazing for management of internal parasites or movement of animals out of high risk areas at certain times of the year to avoid vector borne diseases or bringing animals indoors at night in Africa to minimise risk of exposure to African horse sickness virus carried by night flying midges.
• Vector and reservoir control: Infectious diseases may be transmitted by insect vectors or different reservoir hosts (Nipah virus). Control of the vectors or reservoir hosts will help in disease control.
• Biosecurity measures: Measures include hygiene, disinfection, and other management measures that may reduce disease spread. May be applied at animal, mob, farm or regional levels.
• Genetic selection: May be useful in control of some diseases by elimination of inherited diseases or selection of animals with increased resistance.
