The present paper attempts to review aspects related to the epidemiology, control and containment of haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) in Asia, and proposes some key issues on which a regional programme for HS control in this continent should be centred. Within the Asian Region, countries can be classified into three categories, on the basis of incidence and distribution of the disease; these are respectively countries where the disease is endemic or sporadic, clinically suspected but not confirmed, or free. Most Asian countries rank HS as the most important contagious disease or the most important bacterial disease in cattle and buffaloes. The key factors in HS prevention and control are timely and correct reporting, accurate and rapid diagnosis, and strategic use of quality vaccines.
