HPAI INTRODUCTION EVALUATION

• Importations Mouvements Indirecte FOODS LIFE BIRDS ( MENS AND ANIMALS ) (INSTRUMENTS)

DRIVATED PRODUCTS

EXPOSITION EVALUATION

• BREADING BIRDS IN MAJORTY VILLAGE TYPE

• ENVIRONEMENTAL FACTORS

( FOODS AND WATER… )

• WILD LIFE SUSTENTION (HUNTING)

• TIME OF CONTACT, (SEASONS , MIGRATION TIME,MIGRATION WAY …)

LIVESTOCK FARMING SYSTEM AND MEASURE OF RISK

• ESSENTIALLY TRADITIONNAL OR VILLAGE SYSTEM( birds are free to go any where looking food)

• CHIKEN 70 %, DOMESTICS ducks, pigeons, guinea-hens TURKEYS…PINTADES

• HIHG RISK OF VIRUS TRANSMISSION FOR THE CONTACT BETWEEN WILD BIRDS AND DOMESTICS BIRDS IS VERY HIGH.

FARMING BIRDS DENSITY AND MIGRATION

ADVANTAGES OF HPAI SURVEILLANCE IN DRC

• PUBLIC HEALTH:• EXISTENCE OF POLIO AND

OTHERS MAYORS EPIDEMIC DISEASES SURVEiLLANCE SYSTEM.

• EXISTENCE SAMPLES COLLECTING SYSTEM ET THEIR TRANSPORTATION FOR EPIDEMICS DISEASES.

• Existence OF 515 sanitary districts

• ANIMAL HEALTH• RENES WITH 27 PO AND

58 posts OF animal quarantine

• 2 GREAT VET LAB AND A GREAT EXPERIENCE OF MOBILE LABS

• WILD LIFE WOHERS ARE INTEGRATED IN THE RENES IN PREDILECTIONS AREAS ( AS SEEN ABOVE)

• IN GENERRALLY THERE ARE A LOT OF RURALS RADIOS TO BE USED FOR SENSIBILISATION AGAINTS HPAI

VIEW ON LAB CAPACITY• «2 vets great labs in Kinshasa and

Lubumbashi and one great medical lab in kinshasa

• Possibility of eggs inoculation• Immunofluorescence analyses• Great capacity of histopathology

analyses: paraffines or surgelation system

• RT/ PCR• HIGH EXPERIENCE OF MOBILE LABS

NEGATIVE VIEWS

• MOST OF TECHNICIANS ARE VERY OLD • INSUFFISANCE OF TECHNICIAN OF COURSE• THE SALARY IS VERY LOW IN DRC , THIS

WHY THE RATE OF PROFESSIONNAL MOTIVATION IS VERY LOW.

• LEGAL TEXTS ANT REGLEMENTETION ARE VERY OLD SINCE THE COLONISATION PERIOD.

• THE NATIONAL BUDGET IS NOT CONTRIBUTING IN DISEASES SURVEILLANCE NETWORK

DRC EFFORT TO FITHG HPAI

• THEIRE IS NOW A NATIONAL PLAN OF CONTINGENCY OF HPAI

• RENES( 27 PO and 58 AQP DOING EPIDEMIOSURVEILLANCE AND EPIDEMIOVIGILANCE

GOVERNEMENT MESURES

• NO IMPORTATION OF MEAT, EGGS LIFE BIRDS AND DERIVATED PRODUCTS FROM COUNTRY WHERE THERE IS HPAI DECLARED.

• THE HPAI IS DECLARED PRIORITY DISEASE FOR RENES

WE ALL SAY YES TO LIFE!
