Coordination Meeting on TADs Control in East Asia 24-25 March 2016, Shanghai, PR China Global and regional Strategy/Roadmap on other TADs - PPR, Rabies -
Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR)
Overall objectives of the PPR Global Strategy The overall objective is a productive small ruminant sector that contributes to global food security and nutrition, human health & economic growth, particularly in developing countries, The purpose is to establish the capacity of stakeholders and Veterinary Services to control and eradicate PPR and control other small ruminant diseases.
Specific objectives of the PPR Global Strategy The eradication of PPR by 2030, which requires: In infected countries, achieving a progressive reduction of the incidence and spread, leading to final eradication of PPR In non-infected countries, maintaining their officially recognised PPR-free status While at the same time: Reinforcing Veterinary Services Improving animal health globally by reducing the impact of other major infectious diseases of Small Ruminant.

Component 1: A Progressive Step-wise Approach for PPR Control & Eradication From Stage 1 where the epidemiological situation is being assessed To Stage 4 where there is no virus circulation either at zonal or national level (country ready to apply for the OIE official status of PPR freedom)
Focus of the various stages in the step-wise approach FOCUS STAGE 1 STAGE 2 STAGE 3 STAGE 4 Assessment Stage To gain a better understanding on the presence of PPR Control Stage To control both PPR clinical disease and infection in a specific zone or production system Eradication Stage To achieve PPR eradication throughout the national territory Posteradication Stage To build evidence that there is no clinical disease nor virus circulation

Summary The opportunity now exists to achieve global eradication of PPR in the next 15 years. Appropriate tools exist and a clear, well defined global control and eradication strategy (GCES) has been developed and adopted. The PPR GF-TADs working group of FAO/OIE continues to meet regularly and has started implementation of the GCES. Regional PPR Road Map meetings are underway In South Asia : 11-12 April 2016, Nepal In East Asia : to be developed (later 2016) OIE reference laboratory in Asia Dr Zhiliang Wang, China Animal Health and Epidemiology Center, Qingdao, China
Rabies Global strategic framework for the elimination of dogmediated human rabies Released by OIE and WHO, in collaboration with FAO and with the support of GARC, In accordance with the consensus of the Global Conference held in Geneva on 10-11 December 2015, Provides a coordinated approach and vision for the global elimination of the disease, as well as adaptable, achievable guidance for countries and regions to reach zero human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030. Built on five pillars, the action plan combines socio-cultural, technical, organisational, political, and resource-oriented aspects.
The Global Framework notably call: making human vaccines and antibodies affordable; ensuring people who get bitten receive prompt treatment; implementing mass dog vaccinations in at-risk areas.
The ASEAN Rabies Elimination Strategy (ARES) The ARES was jointly endorsed by the 36th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Agriculture and Forestry and the 12 ASEAN Health Ministers Meeting respectively held in September 2014. The ARES develop the socio-cultural, technical, organizational and political (S.T.O.P.) pillars. The strategy provides directions to progressively develop these four pillars into a structurally sound foundation for the successful elimination of dog-mediated human rabies in ASEAN.
The ASEAN Rabies Elimination Strategy (ARES) Goal To control and eliminate rabies in ASEAN Member States by 2020 and to maintain region freedom. Guiding Principles of the Regional Rabies Strategy 1. Call for Action for Rabies Elimination by 2020. 2. One health approach 3. Harmonization with other regulation, strategy and standard guidelines 4. Vaccination and PEP 5. Dog population management 6. Capacity building 7. Stake holder engagement
