This extension brochure – What you need to know about epizootic ulcerative
syndrome (EUS) – provides simple facts or answers to frequently asked
questions about EUS. This brochure is intended to address a wide range of
audience from fish farmers and fishermen to extension officers as well as policymakers as a public information campaign to make available factual information
about the disease so that awareness may be raised for better understanding of
its potential impact.
The original brochure, an outcome of FAO’s Technical Cooperation Project
TCP/RAF/3111 Emergency Assistance to Combat Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome in
the Chobe/Zambezi River System, was prepared under the technical supervision
of Dr Melba B. Reantaso (FAO) and Dr Rohana P. Subasinghe (FAO retiree).
The current version of the extension brochure is focused on Africa. This was
prepared by Dr Melba Reantaso and Dr David Huchzermeyer (South Africa).
