As with the two preceding editions, this third
edition of the Veterinary Laboratory and Field
Manual is a book made to be used. Dr Susan Cork
and her contributing colleagues, have drawn on
their extensive experience in training, laboratory
diagnostics and field development activities to
produce a practical, informative and accessible
guide to the organization and operation of district
and regional level diagnostic laboratories.
Since the original publication of this book, the
need for expanded veterinary diagnostic laboratory
networks that extend into rural areas, has
continued to grow. The ever increasing demand
for animal protein and the concomitant increase
in livestock populations, the emergence of new
diseases and re-emergence of existing diseases,
the expanded movement and trade of livestock,
the increased contact of livestock and humans
with wild animal species due to habitat incursions,
and the growing risk of intentional disease
introduction through bioterrorism, all underscore
the need for improved disease surveillance
and rapid diagnosis – efforts that require wellfunctioning
district and regional laboratories
as part of a national laboratory network. Early
detection and early response are the fundamental
elements of effective disease control and the
ready availability of reliable basic laboratory
services are essential in this regard.
The new edition maintains the wellorganized
structure of past editions, starting with
the most useful Part 1: Laboratory and equipment.
Chapter 1 focuses on setting up and using
a laboratory service. This is followed by the practical
and informative Chapter 2 on the selection,
use and maintenance of laboratory equipment
and supplies. Then, in Part II, in six subsequent
chapters, the key diagnostic laboratory disciplines
are addressed, including parasitology, microbiology,
haematology, serology/immunology, clinical
chemistry/toxicology, and pathology/cytology,
each including the general underlying scientific
principles, discussions of common diseases and
procedures for sample collection and conduct
of diagnostic tests. Part III then focuses on special
topics including epidemiology, surveillance,
common clinical presentations, wildlife health
monitoring and disease surveillance, antimicrobial
resistance, and arthropod vectors and related
diseases. The book concludes with a range of
appendices, which feature a review of common
zoonotic diseases.
At various locations throughout the text,
Dr Cork and colleagues have updated existing
content and added some new topics. Among the
new subjects considered are: training, information
management and the value of laboratory
networks; hazard assessment and risk management;
audits for quality assurance; the benefits
and limitations of penside tests; assessing diagnostic
sensitivity and specificity for field tests;
the applications, implementation and limitations
of new technologies; and a chapter on the
OIE’s core missions in relation to laboratories

(OIE).
The OIE is pleased to be associated with
this new edition of the Veterinary Laboratory and
Field Manual. The OIE’s core strategic objectives,
including risk management through transboundary
disease control and international standard
setting for the safe trade in animals and animal
products, maintaining the global reporting system
for animal diseases, and strengthening of
national veterinary services, are all underpinned
by the capacity and performance of national
networks of veterinary diagnostic laboratories
and the animal health investigation systems
that deliver them quality samples. This newly
revised manual can make an important contribution
to ensuring the capacity and performance
of those networks and therefore deserves a wide
readership.
