6 The Animal Health status Identifying animal diseases Applying animal disease control measures Control purposes Eradication purposes Animal Health Status World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 6

7 Surveillance: its importance Animal health surveillance has always been an essential activity of Veterinary Services, necessary: for the detection of diseases, for monitoring disease trends, as a tool for controlling endemic and exotic diseases, to support claims for freedom from disease, infection or residues, to provide data to support the risk analysis process in trade decision making for both animal health and public health purposes, to evaluate the economic loss caused by diseases, to provide data required for international trade of animals and animal products and to substantiate the rationale for sanitary measures. 7 World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 7

8 Surveillance Key definitions and criteria Passive surveillance Notification received from: producers, veterinarians in the field, slaughterhouse/abattoir inspection or a diagnostic laboratory Active surveillance Game of priorities Assessment on impact Perspectives: PH/WL/Stakeholders Needs for disease information Budget limitations Core component for the early warning systems World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 8

10 Chapter 2 Critical components in the design World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 10

11 Setting up the surveillance plan 1. What is the purpose of the surveillance plan? 3. Who is the intended audience for the surveillance plan? Who will ultimately read and use it? 2. What is the scope of the surveillance plan? 4. Who are the customers using the information and how will they benefit from surveillance? 5. Who are the members of the surveillance planning team and what are their roles and responsibilities? 6. What background and supporting information are needed for the development of the surveillance plan? World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 11

12 Surveillance system process and actors Data reporting and collection Field level Farms Markets Slaughterhouses Wildlife Border control Local level Intermediate level Data centralisation and validation Local veterinarians, technicians, wildlife management personnel, paraprofessionals and Community animal health workers Data centralisation Veterinary Services and laboratorios at lower administrative unit Feedback of information Central level National Veterinary Services and laboratory Data management and analyses Scope and objectives of surveillance (Steering committee) Surveillance protocols and implementation (Technical committee) World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 12

13 Selection of appropriate methods Several questions to determine methods or tools What are the purpose(s) and objectives of the system? What data need to be collected in the field (e.g. breed, age, herd size, management practices)? Which animals constitute the population of interest and at what level (e.g. herd, individual)? Do any kind of tissue or other materials need to be collected for analysis (e.g. feed, blood/sera, tissue)? If so, what kind of tests will be performed? What surveillance type(s) would be appropriate (i.e. active, passive)? How/where are data maintained (e.g. paper, local spreadsheet, centralized database)? What surveillance method (e.g. survey, tissue sample collection, observational)? How does one select which animals will be included (e.g. random, risk-based)? How will the data be analyzed? What is the analysis intended to provide (e.g. management practices in a population, disease prevalence, documentation of disease freedom)? How will the results of the surveillance be shared with stakeholders (e.g. verbal report, electronic report, team meeting)? How often (e.g. annually, monthly)? World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 13

14 Other critical components in the design Nature of disease or conditions Expected outputs or outcomes of surveillance Selection of the methods and tools available Planning the use of data sources Target population data Sampling strategies Data processing and analysis Investigation procedures 14 World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 14

21 Surveillance in the PVS pathway Fundamental component II: Technical authority and capability Critical competency 5: Epidemiological surveillance and early detection World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 21

22 Epidemiological surveillance and early detection Critical Competency Nº II 5 of the PVS Evaluation II-5 Epidemiological surveillance and early detection Levels of advancement The authority and capability of the VS to determine, verify and report on the sanitary status of the animal populations, including wildlife, under their mandate. A. Passive epidemiological Surveillance < > 5 The VS have no passive surveillance programme. The VS conduct passive surveillance for some relevant diseases and have the capacity to produce national reports on some diseases. The VS conduct passive surveillance in compliance with OIE standards for some relevant diseases at the national level through appropriate networks in the field, whereby samples from suspect cases are collected and sent for laboratory diagnosis with evidence of correct results obtained. The VS have a basic national disease reporting system. The VS conduct passive surveillance and report at the national level in compliance with OIE standards for most relevant diseases. Producers and other interested parties are aware of and comply with their obligation to report the suspicion and occurrence of notifiable diseases to the VS. The VS regularly report to producers and other interested parties and the international community (where applicable) on the findings of passive surveillance programmes.

35 OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code Volume 1: General provisions Section 1. Chapter 1.1. Chapter 1.2. Chapter 1.3. Chapter 1.4. Chapter 1.5. Chapter 1.6. Animal disease diagnosis, surveillance and notification Notification of diseases, infections and infestations, and provision of epidemiological information Criteria for the inclusion of diseases, infections and infestations in the OIE list Diseases, infections and infestations listed by the OIE Animal health surveillance Surveillance for arthropod vectors of animal diseases Procedures for self declaration and for official recognition by the OIE World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 35

36 Chapter Rinderpest standards Article : Ongoing surveillance post global freedom annual re-confirmation of rinderpest absence is no longer required. countries are still required: to carry out general surveillance in accordance with Chapter 1.4. to detect rinderpest should it recur and to comply with OIE reporting obligations concerning the occurrence of unusual epidemiological events in accordance with Chapter 1.1. Countries should also maintain national contingency plans for responding to events suggestive of rinderpest. World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 36

37 Rinderpest: surveillance perspective RP is an animal disease globally eradicated in 2011 Passive surveillance is the most likely way in which: new or emerging disease will be detected an intentional introduction of disease would be detected (bioterrorism) Active surveillance: Syndromic surveillance Stomatitis-enteritis syndrome Sudden death Die-off mortality in cattle / buffalo with negative results for other etiology usual findings World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 37

38 Conclusion Surveillance for the veterinary community is very important. Several fields use different data sources for different purposes. Integration of surveillance systems - e.g. Animal Health Public Health Other perspectives in the future?
