Aiming to enhance capacity to detect and respond to suspected PPR events in wildlife and to enhance coordination between wildlife and livestock sectors, a training workshop on PPR outbreak investigation in wildlife was conducted virtually (16th-17th March 2021). The workshop was organised in partnership with the FAO and OIE Regional Offices for Asia and the Pacific, the FAO/OIE PPR Secretariat and the wildlife working group of the PPR Global Research and Expertise Network (GREN). Presentation topics included the current status of PPR in wildlife, guidance for the prevention and control of PPR in wildlife, disease outbreak investigation, the One Health approach and inter-sectoral coordination, laboratory diagnostics, risk analysis and the use of in-field disease surveillance tools. Among key recommendations, countries were recommended to establish formal mechanisms and cross-sectoral communication plans for coordinated response for disease outbreaks in wildlife. Countries were also recommended to conduct surveillance for PPR in wildlife, to conduct thorough outbreak investigations, and to report confirmed cases of PPR in wildlife to OIE. The post-workshop survey was used to identify future training needs to enhance capacity for managing PPR in wildlife. Recommendations to FAO/OIE included continued support countries to build capacity to prevent and respond to suspected PPR events in wildlife and to include wildlife in National Strategic Plans and in the next phase of the PPR GEP (GEPII). -
