This guideline is intended for all those likely to be involved in the management of zoonotic incidents in Scotland.
The guideline does not attempt to provide an exhaustive list of zoonotic agents but rather to provide generic guidance for managing occurrences of suspected zoonotic disease.
It clarifies the roles and responsibilities of different organisations and outlines how they should best work together in different situations through:
- routine information reporting
- formal liaison
- outbreak investigations to ensure a common approach
