Book (stand-alone)The European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Workplans – Phase V Second biennium 2021–2023

2021Also available in:
No results found.Foot-and-mouth Disease (FMD) remains the first transboundary animal disease (TAD) threat to European livestock production. A single introduction usually has extremely serious, and frequently catastrophic, impacts. The European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD), under a framework of co-ordination with EC (DG-SANTE), FAO and OIE, as played a significant role in reducing the risk and ensuring better preparedness. Partly as a result of this, the EU has not had, for the first time in its history, an outbreak of FMD case for the past ten years. In this time the EuFMD has established an internationally respected capacity for efficient delivery of training and in-country support to FMD Progressive Control Programmes, and most recently, in modelling of FMD control measures to guide emergency planning. The HOLD-FAST strategy continues the focus upon FMD risk reduction but extends the scope of the preparedness and risk reduction activities to similar TADs which pose an immediate threat to the Member Nations (hereafter FAST is used for FMD and similar TADs). -

No results found.Foot-and-mouth Disease (FMD) is a transboundary animal disease (TAD) notorious for its ability to severely affect, and indeed disrupt, regional and international trade in animals and animal products. However, the burden FMD imposes on developing countries is generally much less known. In FMD-endemic countries, which are usually developing countries, the disease threatens food security and the livelihoods of smallholders, and prevents animal husbandry sectors from developing their economic potential. In this context, workforce development of veterinary services and animal health professionals is key for early detection, effective management and progressive control of FMD. Many FMD-endemic countries have limited resources to organize and manage training programme on FMD preparedness and control, and to arrange the logistics involved. To overcome these obstacles, the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD) promotes the establishment of regional Virtual Learning Centres (VLCs), in collaboration with FAO Regional and Subregional Offices. -
