TI  - An economic evaluation of the control of three notifiable fish diseases in the 
      United Kingdom.

AB  - We summarised the challenges faced in an ex ante cost-benefit appraisal of United 
      Kingdom government spending on disease surveillance for three notifiable fish 
      diseases: infectious salmon anaemia (ISA), viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) 
      and infectious haemorrhagic necrosis (IHN). We used a social cost-benefit 
      analysis and adopted a national perspective. We compared costs of current public 
      and private surveillance effort with the benefits stated in terms of the avoided 
      private and social costs of potential disease outbreaks. Spending on ISA and VHS 
      were predicted to be efficient; the benefit-cost ratios were always >or=3.2 for 
      ISA and >or=5.8 for VHS for all nine scenarios examined for each infection. 
      However, the benefit-cost ratio for IHN was predicted never to exceed 1.6, and 
      was <1.0 in five of the nine scenarios-so spending on IHN would be harder to 
      justify.
