Study Veterinary Tropical
Diseases
University of Pretoria South Africa 
The Faculty of Veterinary Science and the Onderstepoort Veterinary
Institute (OVI) are situated in close proximity to each other. This
affords unique opportunities for co-operation, in terms of facilities
and expertise, that are unequalled in Africa, and indeed, in most parts
of the world, to study tropical and subtropical infectious and parasitic
diseases. The Exotic Diseases Division is a high-security laboratory of
the OVI where highly contagious diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease
are studied. The staff of the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases
collaborate closely and work in multidisciplinary teams with research
workers of the OVI.
The Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases is
eager to accept and pursue the opportunities and challenges created by
the new South Africa in its new facilities and to be responsive to and
address the needs of the different communities of the country and the
subcontinent in terms of animal health and production. It is well placed
to take part and to identify new role players, particularly in southern
Africa, but also further afield and to establish networks to ensure that
recent and relevant information and technology are applied in training,
research and services pertaining to a variety of aspects of infectious
and parasitic diseases. It is well known that many of these diseases are
often the biggest constraint to sustainable socio-economic development
of communities in the subcontinent and the rest of Africa.
