No results found.In 2019 The European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD) contracted the Royal Veterinary College, University of London (RVC) to conduct a research study that aimed to better understand the role of VPPs in the control of FAST. The outputs of this study were expected to guide the EuFMD in developing training strategies for VPPs. A mixed methods approach was used that included analysis of current numbers and distribution of veterinarians and VPPs, a literature review, a survey, key informant interviews and qualitative field studies conducted in Nepal and Tanzania.

Book (series)GuidelineRift Valley fever action framework 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an arboviral disease affecting humans and livestock transmitted by mosquitoes. It is endemic to large areas of Africa, resulting in widespread abortion and neonatal mortality in livestock, and severe complications in a small but significant percentage of human cases. The range of RVF is largely determined by the distribution of suitable vector habitat and rainfall, which changes over time and as a result of climate change. In addition to which, the movement of animals and animal products for trade may lead to the spread of RVF to previously non-infected areas. This RVF Action Framework is intended to provide decision makers with guidance on the best course of action to take in response to an RVF outbreak or the risk of an outbreak, and help them develop a national action plan for this response. A coordinated One Health approach that brings together the public, animal and environmental health sectors is recommended, as is a risk-based approach that uses risk assessment and mapping to determine the appropriate measures to be taken and the locations where they are required. A country’s RVF response can be best broken down into the four phases of the epidemiological cycle: the inter-epidemic, pre-epidemic, epidemic and post-epidemic periods. Surveillance, risk assessment and capacity building, for instance, are key during the inter-epidemic period, while the focus during the post-epidemic period shifts to mitigating the disease’s impact. -

A GF-TADs initiative. 2020-2025
2020Resolution No.33 adopted at the 87th General Session of the World Assembly of National Delegates of the OIE recommended that ‘A global initiative for the control of ASF be launched using the GF-TADs mechanism to develop, improve and harmonise national, regional and global partnership and coordination to address ASF at the source, enhance prevention and preparedness, minimise adverse impacts on animal health and welfare, international trade, and social wellbeing’. The FAO-OIE GF-TADs Initiative for the Global Control of ASF have been drafted by the OIE and FAO technical teams. It aims to tackle the strategic challenges to effectively address the mandate given to the OIE and FAO at the last OIE General Session by defining the objectives and providing the structure for specific outcomes to be achieved for the global control of the disease.
