Abstract:
This paper aims to describe the core functions of veterinary epidemiology in public health to understand the ultimate objective of preventing, mitigating, or eliminating zoonotic diseases in susceptible populations. However, the ideas came from a variety of sources. The field of veterinary medicine has significantly contributed to many aspects of public health, including human and environmental wellness, animal welfare, comparative and basic medical study, and the mitigation of zoonotic illness. Veterinary epidemiology, one of the disciplines that make up veterinary public health, is particularly concerned with disease surveillance, response, and prevention. In the veterinary study, epidemiological methods examine diseases' dynamics, prevalence, and causes in populations of interest. The ability to better comprehend hazards and how to prevent widespread sickness is now possible for veterinary epidemiologists. Veterinarians can help advance public health studies and policies by employing various methodological approaches and collaborating with networks of expert epidemiologists in the field.
