ProjectReinforcing global freedom from rinderpest - MTF/GLO/733/OIE 2019
Also available in:
No results found.In the 1980s, rinderpest killed millions of cattle and wild ruminants across Africa, causing devastating consequences for farmers and pastoralists in some of the world’s poorest rural areas. The eradication of rinderpest in 2011 led to considerable socioeconomic effects –the protection of tens of millions of livestock, which contribute to safeguarding biodiversity and the resilience of ecological systems, as well as an estimated USD 920 million in annual economic benefits for Africa alone. However, dozens of laboratories in at least 36 countries still hold Rinderpest Virus-Containing Material (RVCM), posing a serious threat of inadvertent or malicious release. To help maintain global freedom from rinderpest, this project aimed to minimize the number of laboratories holding RVCM and increase the capacity of countries to rapidly respond to, and recover from the re-emergence of the disease.
