Synopsis (short abstract) South East Asia continuously faces challenges and threats of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). While the number of outbreaks has gradually declined, there has been rapid evolution and emergence of new HPAI virus strains and clades, accompanied with wider geographical spread. During the past several years, lessons have been learned with respect to HPAI risk pathways and challenges in control, allowing us to collectively gather evidence to be able to formulate and pilot possible approaches for Avian Influenza risk mitigation. In response to the need of using and applying the collective evidence of the past years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Australian Government supported FAO’s efforts towards risk management with the project “Evidence-Based Risk Management along the Livestock Production and Market Chain”.

    Designing and implementing livestock value chain studies: A practical aid for Highly Pathogenic and Emerging Disease (HPED) control 2012

    Value chain studies, including production system and market chain studies, are essential to value chain analysis, which when coupled with disease risk analysis is a powerful tool to identify key constraints and opportunities for disease control based on risk management in a livestock production and marketing system. Several production system and market chain studies have been conducted to support disease control interventions in South East Asia. This practical aid summarizes experiences and less ons learned from the implementation of such value chain studies in South East Asia. Based on these experiences it prioritizes the required data for the respective purpose of a value chain study and recommends data collection as well as data analysis tools.This practical aid is intended as an adjunct to the FAO value chain approach and animal diseases risk management guidelines document. Further practical advice is provided for more effective use of value chain studies in South and South East Asia as part of animal health decision support.

    Introduction and spread of lumpy skin disease in South, East and Southeast Asia
    Qualitative risk assessment and management

    Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a vector-borne disease of cattle and Asian water buffalo that is included on the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) list of notifiable diseases. In July 2019 LSD was introduced to Bangladesh, China and India and then spread to Nepal and Bhutan and in 2020 to various provinces of China and India. A qualitative risk assessment was conducted to assess the likelihood of introduction and/or spread of LSD in 23 countries in South, East and Southeast Asia based on information available up to 31 October 2020. The economic impact of LSD for South, East and Southeast countries was estimated to be up to USD 1.45 billion in direct losses of livestock and production. These losses may be higher, due to the severe trade implications for infected countries. This document provides an overview of LSD control approaches, including prevention. The cost-effectiveness estimation demonstrates a strong economic justification for vaccination and advocates for a regional approach to harmonize control measures.
