Biosecurity in Animal Production and Veterinary Medicine is a book that combines both broad concepts and practice for biosecurity and the specific biosecurity measurements in animal production and animal housing. The book is a practical guide with an emphasis on an agricultural definition of biosecurity, related to the prevention of diseases both within animals and between animals and humans, and of spread within and between farms and agricultural facilities, though laboratories are also covered. Specifically, there is a chapter on biosecurity in laboratory animal research facilities that focuses on WHO risk groups for infectious agents and biocontainment measures.

This resource is designed to be used as a guideline for managers of farms and facilities. This book is written by Jeroen Dewulf, professor in Veterinary Epidemiology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Ghent University, and Filip Van Immerseel, professor at the Department of Pathology, Bacteriology and Avian Diseases at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Ghent University.
