  2. LEGISLATION • Thesurveillance of zoonoses in the R. Macedonia is conducted according: • Law on Protection of Population from communicable diseases (Off.

Gazette 20/2009) • Rulebook for reporting and forms for reporting infectious diseases and microbiological isolates(Off. Gazette 46/2009; 149/2014) • Annual program of the preventive activities, adopted and financed by the Government

  3. KEY ELEMENTS OF THE SURRVEILLANCE SYSTEM • Centers for Public Health (CPH) are obligated to report mandatory notifiable zoonoses to responsible institutions in veterinary sector also the responsible institutions in veterinary sector are obligated to report to CPH any case of zoonoses in animals. • Within 48 hours the laboratories are obligated to report laboratory confirmed agents to CPH, MoH, SSHI or AFV Mandatory notification of 64 communicable diseases and 56 infectious disease agents • Within 24 hours the medical doctors are obligated to report mandatory notifiable diseases to Centers for Public Health (CPH)

  6. Morbidity and number of cases of zoonosis, 2004 - 2014 Cases of zoonosis

  7. Morbidity / 100.000 inhabitants of the main zoonosis, 2009 - 2014

  8. Number of cases of zoonoses and brucellosis, 2004 - 2014 Cases of zoonosis Cases of brucellosis

  9. Leishmaniasis in R. Macedonia

  10. Lyme borreliosis in R. Macedonia

  11. Brucellosis in R. Macedonia • Since 1988, every year the government approves a special program for prevention and eradication of brucellosis in the human population in the Republic of Macedonia • First individual human cases in Macedonia - 1962 (3 cases) • First time in epidemic form -1980 (102 cases) • The largest number of registered cases -1992 (922 cases) • The lowest number of cases (n=36) and the lowest morbidity (MB 1.8/ 100,000) was registered in 2013 • The trend of the registered number of people infected with brucellosis in the period 2004-2013 is declining.

  12. Brucellosis in R. Macedonia, trend, 2004-2014

  13. Brucellosis in 2014, Macedonia Legend Number of cases

  14. KEY FACTS ON BRUCELLOSIS 2014: • Reduced number of cases and number of affected areas. • The largest number of cases and the highest Mb is registered in • older groups(95% - over 20 years). • Males are more affected than females (trend in the last 30 years). • Correlation between the profession and disease - usually affects people who have direct contact with cattle, their products, secretions/ excretions • Clear seasonality - the peak in 2014 is in April, like in the past few years. • The disease is more often registered in residents of rural areas than in urban

  15. RECCOMENDED CONTROL MEASURES: • Rigorous implementation of veterinary and health control in • animal products (milk, meat products); • Conducting systematic health control for people who work professionally • or come into contact with animals; • Using protective clothing and other safety equipment when handling • animals, their bodies, products, secretions and excretions; • Early detection of person with brucellosis, mandatory laboratory • confirmation of the diagnosis and adequate treatment; • Continuous health education and information the population; • Continuous medical education and awareness of brucellosis among • the health workers. • Continuous cooperation and coordination of field activities between • health and veterinary sector.

  16. Outbreak of tularemia in 2015

  17. Current situation Tularemia, cumulative incidence, Macedonia, 2004-2015 Legend Tularemia 2004-2015 Incidence/100.000 • As of 17.04.2015 – 31 cases (МB 1,5/100.000) • Geographical distribution: • CPH Skopje(14 cases), CPH Veles/ LU SvetiNikole (14 cases), CPHKumanovo (3 cases).

  18. Current situation (2) Distribution by week of onset of symptoms • Distribution by month of onset of symptoms

  19. Current situation (3) cases • Distribution by age: • Most affected age group - 20-29 years • Distribution by gender: • 17(55%) malesand 14(45%) females

  20. RECOMMANDED CONTROL MEASURES • Reporting of all confirmed cases and collecting samples for confirmation of suspected cases; • Epidemiological survey for every confirmed case; • Update the existing data for the field situation and dissemination of data; • Increasing awareness of tularemia among physicians; • Continuous activities and taking measures on field: • Control of the drinking water and recommendations for continuous disinfection of it. • Establishment and maintenance of protective zones around springs and reservoirs / tanks of drinking water by all regulations and standards • Pest control in affected areas where the disease has occurred and conducting regular pest control • Education and information of the population for the ways of protection from tularemia.

  21. CONCLUSIONS: • Elimination and eradication of the epizooty among • animals is a main activity for elimination of the disease • in the human population. • Measures and activities undertaken by the health sector are not enough, it is necessary those measures and activities to be taken primarily by the veterinarians, BUT cooperation, information and coordination of activities is of strong importance so that the disease can be put under control.

  22. CHALLANGES • Integrated information system between human and veterinary sector for better communication • Strengthening the collaboration between human and veterinary sector • Strengthening the capacity of laboratories with new referent methods to confirm zoonotic diseases • To achieve an effective surveillance, prevention and control of newly evolving threats from animal reservoirs is to have established and institutionalized strong links between the different sectors involved.
