What does EDPC mean in DISEASES

Exotic Disease Prevention and Control (EDPC) is a term used to refer to the prevention and control of diseases caused by foreign organisms. These diseases are often called “exotic” as they are not commonly found in the region where they are detected.

EDPC aims to prevent and control the spread of these exotic diseases with measures such as surveillance, quarantine, quarantine management, vaccination and treatment.

Yes, most countries have government-run programs focused on preventing and controlling exotic diseases through various measures such as surveillance, quarantine management, vaccination and treatment. In addition, local authorities may also adopt extra measures such as controlled disposal of animal waste or livestock movement restrictions.

If you suspect that an exotic disease has broken out on your premises or within your business area then you must alert the relevant authorities immediately in order for them to take appropriate action. This could include increasing monitoring efforts or taking more drastic steps such as initiating a quarantine in order to contain the outbreak.

Businesses can also help by adhering strictly to hygienic practices when handling animals or products related to animals (such as meat). Keeping up-to-date biosecurity protocols at all times will limit any potential outbreaks from occurring onsite. Additionally it is recommended that businesses keep an eye out for signs of unusual activity pertaining to animal health so that any suspicious cases can be reported promptly without delay.
