2. • The increased movements of livestock , animal products and human
play an important role in spreading Animal diseases.
• A remarkable progress in trade in livestock and animal products
through the last few decades.
• A plane can transport human or animal products ( including
pathogens)for several thousands kilometers in few hours
3. • The inter-relationships between agents causing disease, animal husbandry, human behavior and
the environment are numerous and complex
So the management of disease requires a holistic approach.
• The “One health” approach is appropriate to address zoonoses as well as livestock diseases such
as HPAI, FMD and other TADs which can have severe impacts on:
- people livelihood,
- access to local and national markets,
- wildlife conservation,
- Income of producers and availability of work
- Food for the population
4. • The main responsibility for the control and prevention of diseases of
livestock rests with animal health systems, which are underpinned by
Veterinary Services (VS)
• The VS is recognized as a global public goods
5. VS is a global public goods
• TAD control, based on sound strategies and tools,
generates “global public goods”.
Where the disease is better controlled, the benefits will
be shared across the society of the country as:
- Consumers will benefit from greater stability and
availability of livestock products,
- Livestock owners will have fewer losses and greater
market opportunities and
- People working and running businesses in the livestock
sector will have more reliable source of product of better
quality.
6. VS is a global public goods
• For countries that share borders and trading systems there will
be benefits for both.
• In general it is important to recognize that these benefits will
also be available for future generations.
• Conversely, a country that fails to control TADs may negatively
impact on its neighbors and possibly also those countries with
which it trades.
• That is the “global public goods”.
7. • FAO and OIE have embarked, under the umbrella of
the Global Framework for the Progressive Control of
Transboundary Animal Diseases (GF-TADs), on a
Global Strategy and Global Action Plan for FMD
control, with particular emphasis on regions of the
world where the disease is endemic.
9. Visualization of Regional Virus Pools
as an Aid to Global Control
Divides the Globe into 7 pools each with
• Multiple serotypes but topotypes mainly confined to that
pool
• Each pool may need tailored vaccines and strategies

19. • FMD is one of the most contagious animal diseases and
internationally the most important TAD.
• In countries where FMD is endemic the disease is often
under reported, even though farmers have been shown to
suffer serious economic losses.
• Many developing countries are poorly equipped to deal
effectively with livestock diseases, including FMD, and so
it continues to negatively affect food security and
economic development.
21. PCP-FMD
• The PCP-FMD is a set of FMD control activity stages (Figure 1) that, if
implemented, should enable countries to progressively increase the level of
FMD control to the point where an application for OIE-endorsement of a
national control programme vaccination (in an advanced phase of Stage 3)
or official freedom from FMD with or without vaccination (end of Stages
4 and 5, respectively) may be successful and the status sustainable.
22.
23. The PCP approach is based on the following
principles:
1) active monitoring for FMDV circulation and
understanding the epidemiology of FMD are the
foundation of a control program, and therefore
activities to meet these requirements are
common in all stages.
The monitoring of outcomes (indicators of control
effectiveness), within a national FMD
management system, is included at the higher
stages;
24. 2) activities in each PCP stage are appropriate to the
required reduction in virus circulation and mitigation of
disease risk to be achieved;
3) activities and their impacts are measurable in
each Stage, comparable between countries, and
generate information and potential benefits to national
as well as international stakeholders;
4) the optimization of resource use for FMD control is
achieved through the targeting of measures to the
husbandry systems and critical risk points where the
impact on disease control and/or virus circulation will be
greatest.
25. Strengthening Veterinary Services
• VS are an essential component of the animal health system that
protects animal health and safeguards animal production;
To function effectively, VS require:
- Appropriate infrastructure,
- Trained and effective personnel
- Sufficient operating budgets to perform their disease
mitigation activities.
Unfortunately, in many developing countries, the VS infrastructure is
often of insufficient quality and the operating budget inadequate.
26. With globalisation and the growth of international
trade, the responsibility of VS extends beyond
national borders, in particular in regard to trade in
livestock and animal products. Importers and
consumers desire healthy livestock and safe animal
products and this brings into consideration the quality
and credibility of VS.
27. • PVS pathway: evaluation of the veterinary services
The OIE tool for the Evaluation of Performance of
Veterinary Services (OIE PVS Tool) is an objective,
qualitative mechanism for assessing the quality of VS
that creates a basis for a Gap Analysis and the
development of an investment plan to seek the
necessary funds to redress these weaknesses.
