  1. The Role of Official Authorities in Animal Disease ControlPreben WillebergDVM,Ph.D.,Dr.Vet.Sc.,Dr.Vet.Sc.h.c. Professor, Chief Veterinary Officer

  2. “Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth” Albert Einstein

  3. Prevalence Goals Strategies Methods endemic know and reduce occurrence prevent spread reduce impact control of disease agent, diseased hosts, risk factors improve resistance survey, RF study, disease mapping strategic vaccination monitoring/surveillance sporadic epidemic know occurrence and eradicate prevent spread low-tolerance system of disease control/eradication surveillance (model-assisted) strategic vaccination, quarantine, movement control, zoning free know and reduce risk of introduction be prepared contingency plans awareness & capacity risk mitigation surveillance risk analysis, outbreak simulation exercises documenting freedom Animal Disease Control Logic

  4. Scientific and technological factors Political, legal and financial factors Structural and organisational factors Animal Disease Control between research and application Risk Analysis sharing and distributing responsibilities International rules OIE and EU National issues Infra-structure Co-operation with industry Contents

  5. Relationship between research & application Application Research • Disease control is well suited as an area ofinterface between research and application. • It is the Danish experience, that animal disease control is a fruitful research area – for the benefit of all parties. • Results of this applied research typically have national or international impact.

  6. Research Application • problem-oriented • communicable • applicable

  7. Examples from animal disease control: Disease mapping & spatial analysis Risk assessment Risk factor analysis Research Application • problem-oriented • communicable • applicable • structured problem • funded activity • transparent and objective data

  8. International Risk Analysis Concept • Risk assessment • Scientific discipline • Risk management • Practical discipline • Political influence • Risk communication • Consumer involvement

  9. Epidemiology and Risk Analysis • Animal health risk analysis relies on epidemiology • The risk of risk analysis to become merely a probabilistic exercise • Veterinary epidemiology ensures biological coherence in the risk analysis process

  10. Risk Analysis Cyclus Surveillance Epidemiological evaluation/ Risk assessment Risk management Research Risk communication

  11. Risk Analysis Process:

  12. Risk Analysis Process With epidemiology • Hazard identification • Risk assessment • Risk management • Risk communication Without epidemiology • Enthusiasm • Skepticism • Mistrust • Depression

  13. International animal health standards • OIE International Animal Health Code • Guidelines for: • Risk Analysis • Regionalization • Surveillance • Evaluation of veterinary services

  14. International animal health standards • OIE International Animal Health Code • List of transmissible diseases (2004) • Criteria (2004) • International spread • Zoonotic • Emerging • Sign. spread in naive populations

  15. International animal health standards BVDV BVDV

  16. EU Commission Guidelines • DRAFT 2004 ”Animal Disease Eradication, Control and Monitoring Programmes” : Criteria for the evaluation of animal diseases with the purpose of drawing a list of diseases eligible for Community co-financing • At least one of the following criteria should be fulfilled: • Animal diseases with an impact on public health (zoonoses) • International spread (serious, rapid, socio-economic, public health, international trade) • Emerging diseases (newly recognized , different behaviour, spread, consequences) • Significance in international trade (export, free-trade agreements) • Significance in intra-Community trade (placing on the marked)

  17. Danish BVDV Strategy • Danish Cattle Federation wants to eradicate BVDV • Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (DVFA) and Danish Cattle Federation worked out a control plan based on scientific knowledge • Danish Cattle Federation administers the plan supported by DFVA

  18. Inputs • Herd owners - the veterinary practitioner: - within-herd tests • Danish Cattle Federation: - examination of milk and blood surveillance tests - aid to re-infected herds - compensation for culled PI-animals - personnel to administer the plan • DVFA: - supporting personnel and regulation
