Author: Fabrizio Rosso
90 ExCom-Monza, 24-25 September 2015
Component 2.3 of EuFMD workplan
Assist national FMD risk management as part of the REMESA action plan
Activity 2013-2015
PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP The purpose of the workshop is to reach a common understanding on the difficulties associated with the control of the FMD in 2014-2015, and to identify from “Lessons learnt” the priorities for attention for a REMESA Regional Strategy.
The workshop started with brief presentations by all participating countries about the 2014 outbreaks and their current FMD situation. The following subjects have been covered during the workshop : •Entry of FMD infection
•Silent spread period
•Control of the epidemic during the first month post-outbreak
•The long tail of virus circulation
•Recovery

Lessons learnt
Animal movements
Importance of reliable animal identification systems
Importance cross-border movements regulated and well understood
Implementation of movement control by veterinary services
Epidemiology and surveillance
The statistical confidence of the surveys to give evidence of absence of
FMDV circulation
Strong regional elements should be captured in the surveillance (risk based)
Communication
Importance of communication channels established during “peace time”
Lessons learnt
Vaccination
Acquisition of sufficient and proper vaccines
Regional harmonization of vaccination campaigns, based on a risk
assessment
Resource mobilization
From initial emergency response to a long-term prevention: need to secure
long-term human and financial resources
Importance of demonstrating socio-economic impact of FMD as support for
the advocacy activities
Regional harmonization
Regional coordination is of particular interest for vaccination, movement
control and surveillance
Risk assessment for FMD spread in the region
Recommendations
IMPROVEMENTS on PREVENTION
Strengthening of cross-border animal movement control regarding illegal
introduction of animals and products.
Continuation of animal identification, tracking and tracing of their movements.
Mapping of animal movements, knowledge at regional level of transportation
routes based on local conditions.
Strengthening of passive surveillance
Targeting active surveillance: high risk areas and periods
Harmonization or implementation of a regional surveillance strategy
Coordination by a regional reference laboratory
Strengthening cooperation between stakeholders, awareness and training
STRENGTHENING of FMD CONTROL
Control and restriction of animal movements and effective closure of livestock
markets during outbreaks,
Strengthening of biosecurity measures
Cost-benefit analysis
Implementation of proper sanitary measures in and around outbreak farms
(confiscation and isolation of infected animals, stamping out, disinfection)
Financial support for necessary personal equipment (PPE) and culling facilities
Financial support for compensation
Establishing a vaccine/antigen bank at regional level with regional and
international support (financial and technical)
Preventive vaccination and Emergency vaccination preparedness
Development of tools to assist the design, implementation and evaluation of
vaccination campaigns
Recommendations
STRENGTHENING of COMMUNICATION
Strengthening coordination among all partners
Establishment of a surveillance or communication committee (national or
regional)
Creation of opportunities where professionals can exchange information
Activation of the REMESA website to exchange animal health information
Harmonization of technical communication media (support and technical expertise
at national, regional and international level)
Creating awareness among actors during peace time
Improving feedback for experience
Recommendations
IMPROVING MOBILIZATION of HUMAN and FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Cost-benefit analysis of control measures to justify resources and required
financial means
Harmonization of regulatory framework for measures and resources, regional and
international support in the preparation of regulations
Good structure of veterinary services, administrative and financial autonomy
Establishment of a regional animal disease fund (national/regional)
The workplan 2015-2017 is focused on improvement in short and long term
management of the national FMD risk, with tangible indicators of progression
along the PCP Pathway, towards OIE recognition of FMD freedom and a
regional strategy for FMD control.
The programme is based on the support to:
• develop, adopt and implement Risk Based Strategic Plans for FMD control in
Libya and Mauritania, and the capacity to achieve and maintain PCP stage 4 in
Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia;
• implement a coordination framework in order to facilitate communication,
review and guide upon activity implementation at national and regional level,
• create a system to improve availability of disease risk information for planning
of surveillance, control and vaccination programmes, and developing vaccine
banks.
All the activities and the related outcomes can help to provide information to
support analysis of risk of FMD incursions into the European neighbourhood.
