90th Executive Committee meeting of the EuFMD
Item: Component 1.3 – THRACE Author: Fabrizio Rosso
90 ExCom-Monza, 24-25 September 2015
Component 1.3 Establish a system which provides continuous confidence in disease freedom and which improves the chances of detecting an outbreak at
an early stage
Expected results
1. Establishment a co-ordination framework
2. Establishment system for real-time data entry to support management of surveillance activities aimed at maintaining disease freedom confidence
3. Achieving two years of risk based surveillance results for FMD (and other diseases as requested by the beneficiaries countries)

FAO-EuFMD/EC/OIE Tripartite on the Control of FMD and other exotic diseases in the Southern
Balkans Alexandroupolis, Greece, on 30th August-1st September 2015
ExCom88
The main objectives of the meeting were:
• To review and discuss surveillance and control activities for Foot and Mouth
Disease (FMD) implemented in the three countries.
• To review and discuss the epidemiological situation and the control measures
implemented in the three countries for Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), Sheep and Goat
Pox (SGP), Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) and other major contagious
diseases.
• To agree upon priorities and expected results of the Thrace risk-based surveillance
project (Component 1.3 of the EuFMD work programme, 2015-17).
Foot and Mouth Disease
ExCom88
The improvement in the control of FMD in Anatolia in 2014-15 is a cause for
cautious optimism and the implementation of the strategic plan for FMD control
by the Turkish authorities is giving results.
Improvements of control measures
-Animal movements
-Vaccination
-Outbreaks management and investigation
Improvements of surveillance
Improvements of awareness
Serotype O, n=12 Serotype A, n=41 Serotype Asia1, n=20
SGP
ExCom88
2014 - Turkey: 134
2014 - Greece: 164
2015 - Turkey: 45
2015 - Greece: 3 The factors behind the outbreaks in 2015 remained unclear and this has implications for duration of control measures in an area that needs to be understood.
Peste des Petits Ruminants
ExCom88
Objectives: PPR free TRACE by 2018 (stop vacc in 2016?)
PPR free Anatolia by 2023
ExCom88
Lumpy Skin Disease Turkey: 7 outbreaks reported in Trace in 2015 Culling of infected animals, quarantine Vaccination: average 80%
Greece: 24 outbreaks reported in Trace in 2015 Initial Stamping out PZ (3km) and SZ (20km) Vaccination of restriction zones with conditions for exit animals and product
Sustainability of the activities in case of lack of resources;
Overlooking risks not previously identified in the development of the targeted surveillance (e.g. route of entry in trace for SGP, LSD);
High risk of circulation of SGP, LSD within common border and then in EU territory
Need of maintaining outbreaks investigation for FMD, SGP, LSD, PPR
Effectiveness of vaccination better understood
Adequate preparedness of Thrace for the possible introduction of other diseases (e.g. LSD) and consequences;
Major issues
Providing regular support for preserving the targeted risk-based surveillance (risk assessment and studies to understand routes of entry) and allowing continuous improvement of awareness;
Using the model developed for FMD to analyze the surveillance implemented for other diseases (e.g. PPR, SGP, LSD) to give evidence of disease freedom
Maintaining surveillance for multiple disease Improving the passive reporting with active engagement of farmers Maintaining and promoting the collaboration between countries, even at local
level ; Build confidence in the capacity to respond effectively
Programme develop might be relevant for other regions for confidence in disease
freedom
What are the needs ? According on what we have learnt and discussed during TPT
Objectives:
1.Maintain and improve a co-ordination framework for the activities required to maintain confidence in FMD freedom amongst the three countries; in 2015-17 to include local VS of the provinces in the common border region;
2. Maintain and improve a system for real-time data entry to support management of national surveillance activities aimed at maintain DF confidence;
3.Achieving four years of risk based surveillance results through activities implemented in each country for FMD (and other diseases as decided by Coordination Framework); in 2015-17 with the expected result of providing evidence for freedom from FMD, PPR and LSD in European Turkey and the neighbouring countries;
4. Improved capacity to respond to exotic disease incursions in to the common border region, through participation in joint exercises and development of harmonised levels of contingency planning.
