At the time of completion of the present work, Dr Kardjadj has published 31 papers in international journals, several book chapters and 78 conference papers. 

Dr Adama Diallo, DVM, PhD, is a senior scientist of ASTRE (Animals, Health, Territories, Risks & Environment) research unit of CIRAD (The French agricultural research and international cooperation organization) working currently in Senegal as the advisor of the Director of the Senegal national veterinary laboratory LNERV (Laboratoire National d’Elevage et de Recherches Vétérinaires). Dr Diallo is a recognized expert in vaccine and diagnostic tests development for the control of animal diseases. He is the author of one of the Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) live attenuated vaccines currently in use for the PPR control. He is a former head of the virology section in Cirad in Montpellier, France, and a former head of the Animal Production and Health Laboratory at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria.

Blurb

This book primarily focuses on the African Sahel region, shedding new light on the epidemiology, socio-economics, clinical manifestations and control approaches of transboundary animal diseases (TADs) in this specific region. In addition to the description of TADs in Sahelian Africa and connected regions, several issues regarding the burden of TADs, the role of national/regional/international veterinary organizations in the surveillance process, animal mobility, one health and TADs in the dromedary are discussed.  

The book contains 22 chapters and is structured in three parts, i- general features and commonalities, ii- viral diseases, iii- bacterial diseases. Each chapter was written by a group of experts specialized in the topic. This work will be of general interest to researchers, veterinarians, veterinary public health officers, and students engaged in the surveillance and control of animal infectious diseases, included those of zoonotic nature and that are prevalent in the Sahel.
