Abstract
In this paper a proposal by the University of the West Indies (UWI) to deliver better veterinary services to rural areas of the Neotropical (Caribbean/Latin American) Region by using a combination of computerised communications and molecular diagnostic tests is outlined and discussed. It is suggested that for such a programme to be effective there is a need to develop and use relatively inexpensive but reliable portable equipment for use in the field.
