Epidemiology of animal diseases
Veterinary epidemiology is the field that is concerned with the study of health and disease within populations and the various underlying factors that lead to these conditions, with a goal of preventing the spread of such future incidents of illness (it may also be used for investigation of issues for eg animal welfare and productivity). Veterinary epidemiology also involves the investigation of different patterns of disease within a population, in relation to which animals are affected, the spatial distribution of affected animals, and the temporal distribution of affected animals (i.e. patterns of disease through time). It is thus considered the cornerstone of public health, productive medicine, and preventive medicine.
