title: [Note on the lessons of rinderpest control in Chad since 1935].
abstract: The policy of rinderpest control in Chad has passed through various phases over sufficiently long periods to validate certain concepts such as that of the usefulness of perifocal vaccination of populations which have not been previously vaccinated. After studying the reliability of data regarding livestock, vaccinations and pathology and after having reviewed the various types of vaccine used, it can be concluded that perifocal vaccination, even in conjunction with the systematic vaccination of young, has not enabled rinderpest to be brought under control in Chad. Only systematic livestock vaccination can control and eradicate the disease. A table illustrates the vaccination operations and monitoring systems used.
