| dc.description.abstract | Tanzanian Government, through its national audit office in March 2020, reported the prevalence decline of two
animal diseases, namely; Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP).
Similarly, an increase in three animal diseases, which are African Swine Fever (ASV), Contagious Caprine
Pleuropneumonia (CCPP), and Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD). The national audit office mentioned inadequate animal
disease surveillance system in the country was among the challenges that hinder diseases control. Therefore, this
study reviews the existing animal diseases surveillance systems global and suggests measures to enhance animal
diseases surveillance systems in Tanzania. This review focuses on the possibility of sharing surveillance data among
livestock stakeholders (including livestock keepers) in Tanzania, considering available resources such as animal
diseases existing prediction models and mobile-based surveillance systems. Also, the availability of mobile
technologies such as Short Message Service (SMS), Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) and
automatic voice calls (Robocalls). Reviews synthesize the previous studies to explore strengths, opportunities,
weaknesses and challenges for better future interventions through proper and timely information sharing. This
study selected 46 records from the 147 identified for review. The selected records include 24 from bibliographic
databases, 14 from full-text journals and other non-bibliographic databases, and 8 from the open search on websites | en_US |
