    It is over three decades of graduate education in epizootiology at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria (1975-2011): is there a need to revise the curriculum?
    (2012) Olugasa, B. O.; Ijagbone, I. F.; Esuruoso, G. O.
    Epizootiology is the study of variable factors, events, forces and circumstances that contribute to the occurrence, distribution, control and prevention of ill-health, diseases and other problems in animal groups. It is a key component of veterinary medicine education at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria since 1975. It started as a Graduate Certificate in Epizootiology (GCE) in 1976. Later it was revised into M.Sc. Epizootiology in 1986. At graduate level, epizootiology curriculum has supported the M.Sc. Epizootiology programme. It compliments training in Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine. This epizootiology curriculum has been operational at graduate level for more than three decades. Now in 2011, a consortium of English speaking West African Universities is committed to review the current curriculum at the University of Ibadan to strengthen health systems in an interdependent world with scope for internationalized practicum in disease investigation. Emphases are made towards skills development in molecular studies on disease causal agents and the mapping of associated geographic risk factors, including indigenous knowledge and practices. It is notable that most English-speaking West African countries including Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Gambia either lack a Veterinary School or just started some, but do not have graduate programme in Epizootiology. Thus, the curriculum at Ibadan is positioned to make impact in three key areas, namely, sub-regional ecosystem health studies, improving human-animal disease surveillance programmes, and in indigenization of bio-technology for monitoring and evaluation of trans-boundary animal disease control interventions for global health in West Africa

    An outbreak of animal trypanosomosis in a fulani herd at Idofian in Kwara State Nigeria
    (2005) Ijagbone, I. F.; Esuruoso, G. O.; Adeyemi, I. G; Olugasa, B. O.
    An epizootiological investigation was conducted to establish the cause of an outbreak of a disease which reportedly resulted in fifty cases of abortions and thirty deaths out of a population of 1,200-cattle within one month after its onset. The incident occurred in a Fulani.farm settlement located on the outskirt of Idofian via-Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Using parasitological methods, 9 out of the 34 animals sampled from the herd; were positive for trypanosoniosis, indicating 26.47% prevalence of the disease in the farm; Trypanosoma vivax was detected in seven of the samples while T. congolense was present in two. This finding coupled with other epizootiological parameters examined established trypanosoniosis outbreak in the herd which might have resulted in the reported cases of abortion and death among the cattle. The finding underscores how the disease can still be a major impediment to the growth of cattle enterprise in some parts of Nigeria.

    (2003) Olugasa, B. O.; Esuruoso, G. O.; Oghre-Ikanone, E.
    Animal hygiene is taught under the title veterinary public health and preventive medicine in the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. The term animal hygiene is not commonly used here, but the definition of animal hygiene cogently interprets the composition and integration of the ten subject areas taught under veterinary public health and preventive medicine in Ibadan. There are three units within the department, namely; veterinary public health, veterinary preventive medicine, and wildlife and fish ecology and diseases. The essential pursuit of each of these three units is animal hygiene in the order of the subdivisions into veterinary preventive medicine, food safety and environmental protection basics of the animal and human health
