      abstract = {Animal Health Economics is a relatively new subject, being  developed to provide a
quantitative insight into the  economic effect of disease and disease control in  livestock.
Research in this field is focussed on both the  further development of a more solid scientific
framework of  concepts and methods and its applications in quantitative  model calculations.
Three issues are especially of  interest: (a) the losses of disease, (b) the profitability  of
preventive measures, and (c) the replacement decision of  individual affected animals. All
three issues concern  complex problems, which have to be studied under imperfect  veterinary
knowledge and under a high degree of  uncertainty. In this paper the basic economic
framework and  its applications in the underlying field are discussed and  illustrated.},
