Veterinary Epidemiology is an emerging field with its own unique demands that not only embraces the all disciplines of Veterinary Sciences but Economics, Statistics and Public Health also. Veterinary Epidemiology emerged not more than two decades ago but proved its worth and importance by gaining the place in the curriculum of all the Veterinary and Public Health institutions. It will be not exaggerating to say that the basic degree of DVM and Public Health is not complete without it. All the data collection, sampling size, Temporal and Spatial survey, disease Watch and Ward, Active and Passive Surveillances, Trans-boundary diseases ,Veterinary Economics, Analysis of Data wither by computation or by simply or complex Statistics all is dealt by Veterinary Epidemiology. More over emerging Public Health needs and effective control of Zoonoses is not possible without understanding of Veterinary Epidemiology.

Different institutions are welcoming the students for higher studies in the discipline of Veterinary Epidemiology.
