Administrative / biographical background

In 1938 the Diseases of Animals Division of MAFF became the Animal Health Division. In 1965 it was divided into two Divisions, in 1968 into three and finally in 1972 into four Divisions. In 1987 Animal Health Group was reorganised and Division III was renamed Animal Medicines Division.

With reorganisation in 1987, prevention, control and eradication of notifiable and other diseases of animals came under the remit of Animal Health Division. In 1992 after further restructuring Animal Health (Disease Control) Division was formed to deal with all notifiable diseases (except salmonella and BSE).

In 2001 together with BSE, Sheep TSE and the SEAC Secretariat, Animal Disease Control (ADC) became one of the four divisions within TSE and Zoonoses. In 2005 this became TB Division.
