“…Endemic bacterial diseases of cattle in the region such as pasteurellosis, black quarter, anthrax and contagious bovine pleuropneumonia are generally kept under reasonable control through annual vaccination campaigns and therefore epidemic outbreaks are rare. For pasteurellosis, there is need to reformulate the vaccine following the identification of the B6 serotype of Pasteurella multocida (Njongmeta et al , 2001) not yet incorporated into the current vaccine. No vaccination is done against viral diseases ever since rinderpest vaccination was stopped almost a decade ago in Cameroon as a first step towards declaring the country free of the disease.…”

Disease consistently features among the major constraints of livestock production in the central African region, orchestrating important economic losses. This article reviews livestock diseases of economic importance, including foot-and-mouth disease, trypanosomosis and dermatophilosis in cattle, peste des petits ruminants and gastrointestinal helminthosis in sheep and goats, and Newcastle disease in poultry. Some aspects of epidemiology such as pathogen identification, prevalence and risk factors are examined in the light of research findings in the region. Control tools such as vaccines, chemotherapeutic or prophylactic agents, and protocols developed for their efficient use are also reviewed. Constraints to the effective use of these tools have been identified as mostly due to institutional insufficiencies and measures for improvement have been proposed. These include the promotion of private professional veterinary services endowed with greater responsibility in animal health care, creation and promotion of community-based animal health care units in areas of marginal professional coverage, and adoption of a regional approach to the control of diseases of economic importance.
