Dr Rabindra Prasad Singh contributed immensely on animal vaccines (PPR, Sheeppox, Bluetongue, Rabies, Canine distemper, FMD), monoclonal antibody based/molecular/ point of care diagnostics (Rinderpest, PPR, Rabies, CDV, Brucella, FMD), disease epidemiology (PPR, Rabies, CDV & FMD), host pathogen interaction (CDV, PPRV) & antiviral strategies for rabies. Integrated application of PPR vaccine and diagnostics at mass scale during last 2 decades for PPR control/eradication reduced disease incidence significantly in India (75-90 % reduction) leading to livelihood/nutritional security and small ruminant population gains. Similarly, Dr Singh’s effort in balancing FMD vaccine potency vis-à-vis availability for mass application combined with application of indigenously developed diagnostics led to minimum FMD incidences, in the country during recent years, which was never experienced before. Dr Singh’s contribution on animal science based start-ups, entrepreneurship development & IP management is noteworthy and became sustainable practices in India. Dr Singh is recognized globally for his contributions on PPR, FMD and other transboundary animal diseases. He has been chairman and Member of several National Committees on Rinderpest. FMD and PPR. He has been involved in several committee at international level constituted by FAO of United Nations and World Organization of Animal Health (WOAH) under the umbrella of GF-TADs viz i) Member PPR Eradication Programme: Global Advisory Committee, ii) member Partnering and Financing Panel (PFP), iii) Member joint Advisory Committee (JAC) on Rinderpest, iv) Member OiE adhoc group on rinderpest, v) Regional resource person of OIE/WOAH etc.
