EPIZOO: A Computer Software Package to be Used
in Veterinary Public Health
and Animal Disease Control
A computer software package, EPIZOO, has been developed specifically for analysis of
information on animal health and diseases,
including those transmissible to man. The
software package includes indicators to analyse data on morbidity and
mortality, geographical distribution,
animal population characteristics, and dynamics of epizootics.
It helps to prepare for investigations
of animal population health and disease, to analyse diagnosis and consequences
of illness, to design animal health programmes,
to estimate costs and evaluate programmes.
It also includes
some sampling and other simple
and practical statistical techniques.
It is
written to facilitate information management for problem-solving, modelling, simulation studies and training in veterinary epidemiology and for action-oriented
epidemiological analyses and decision-making.
The EPIZOO version 3.2 fits onto one
1.4 megabyte diskette and can be used
on IBM compatible personal computers with the MS-DOS operating system.
The software package, which was developed by Professor V. Kouba
(B.P. 516, 17000 Prague 7, Czech
Republic), is easy to use and does not require training or even
a manual.
