Founding intergovernmental mandate for ensuring transparency of the global disease situation
Only two organisations have a global legal framework asking to collect and release global health information
1924 “OIE Organic Basic Texts”
1951“International Sanitary
Regulations”
Legally binding mechanisms
Obligations on States Parties to notify events that mayconstitute a public health emergency of international
concern (IHR)
Obligation for Member Countries to notify all
relevant information about listed and emerging animal
diseases (Organic Statutes & Animal Health
Codes)

Notifiable diseases
Non‐disease specific definition of notifiable events
Decision instrument (Annex 2)
117 Listed‐diseases (GA)+
emerging diseases

Disease alerts

OIE disease alerts for listed diseases
1. First occurrence
2. Re‐occurrence
3. New strain
4. Sudden and unexpected change in the distribution orincrease in incidence or virulence of, or morbidity ormortality
5. Occurrence in an unusual host species
Within 24 hours
Article 1.1.3. of Animal Health Codes:

OIE disease alerts for emerging diseases
• A change of a known pathogenic agent or its spread to anew geographic area or species
or
• A previously unrecognised pathogenic agent or diseasediagnosed for the first time
New occurrence of a disease causing a significant impacton animal or public health resulting from:
Alert when detected
WHO : disease alert for potential PHEIC
Events that may constitute a public healthemergency of international concern (PHEIC)Positive answer for at least 2 question:

Within 24 hours
Q1: serious public health impact ?
Q2: unusual or unexpected?
Q3: risk of international spread?
Q4: risk of travel or trade restrictions?

• Essential to strengthen early detection, rapidresponse, and protection against biological threats

Conclusion
• Member Countries required to report suchdisease events to the OIE and to WHO
• Whatever their origin : naturally occurring orresult from an accidental or deliberate release
• The international community should promote fullcompliance with these international reportingframeworks to protect against all bio‐threats
