COORDINATION MEETING ON SURVEILLANCE FOR THE ERADICATION OF SHEEP POX FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN MAGHREB

This meeting was held in Tunis on 17 to 18 February 2000 and reported good progress on the part of the four Maghreb countries in their efforts to control the disease in compliance with the recommendations of the last coordination meeting. The vaccination programmes have shown a marked increase in the target animal population even though, in most countries, the desired coverage rate is far from being achieved.
