World livestock disease atlas: a quantitative analysis of global animal health data

The World Bank and the TAFS (Trust in Animals and Food Safety) forum have jointly published the 'World Livestock Disease Atlas'. It is a major quantitative analysis of global animal health data (2006-2009) and addresses questions such as: Which livestock diseases cause the heaviest losses globally?; Which countries suffer the worst disease-related losses among their livestock populations?; Which livestock species are most affected by diseases?; and What are the latest changes over time in all this?.
