Preparedness and response to aquatic animal health emergencies in Asia: guidelines Regional Workshop on Preparedness and Response to Aquatic Animal Health Emergencies, held in Jakarta, Indonesia from 21–23 September FAO/TCP/INS/2905 – Health Management in Freshwater Aquaculture Driven by the occurrence of koi herpesvirus (KHV) in Indonesia

Infectious disease emergencies May arise in a number of ways: –Introduction of known, exotic disease –Sudden changes in the behaviour of endemic diseases –Appearance of previously unrecognized disease Early detection and rapid response are critical to the effective management of such emergencies A strong national approach is required to ensure that the necessary operational capability is in place so that early detection and effective responses are achieved. Aquatic animal disease prevention programme

Infectious disease emergencies Aquatic animal disease prevention programme –surveillance of valuable resource for any disease emergence –a strong diagnostics capacity in order to distinguish disease of concern from others (e.g. recurring endemic, husbandry or environmentally related diseases losses) Assessment of the success of an emergency disease response requires measures to ensure that freedom from the particular disease has been achieved.

Framework for emergency disease preparedness and response (Baldock, 2005) National Planning and Coordination Early warning Staying free Operational capabilityEarly response Recovery

National planning and coordination In order to have contingency planning recognized as an important core function of government services and to have adequate funding and other resources allocated to these activities, the Responsible Authority should ensure the support of, and participation by, all stakeholders These include the relevant minister and senior ministry officials, other government departments and agencies (including national economic development planning authorities), farming and fishing communities and organizations, seafood marketing authorities, processors, traders and exporters The importance of including private-sector stakeholders in planning for disease emergencies is stressed – farm observations and rapid reporting are essential for early detection, which optimizes the probability of a successful response.

Operational Capability The Responsible Officer recognized by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) for the particular country should have overall technical responsibility with regard to preparedness for and management of aquatic animal health emergencies. This may be the office of the Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) or equivalent Competent Authority, such as the Director of Fisheries, for a country. The government minister responsible for the regulatory authority for aquatic animal health protection would be ultimately responsible for the country.

Early Warning Having advance knowledge of high-risk diseases likely to threaten national biosecurity before the pathogens actually enter national territory. Effective early warning depends strongly on the responsible authority having excellent awareness of the current disease situation of the country’s primary trading partners and on emerging aquatic animal diseases on a world-wide basis

Early Warning Early warning thus involves such activities as: developing good communication linkages and working relationships with the Responsible Authorities of primary trading partners; contributing to, and frequent checking of, regional and international disease reporting systems and databases; and communicating with key aquatic animal health researchers in primary trading partner countries and on a world-wide basis through such avenues as aquatic animal health newsletters and discussion groups and attendance at regional and international meetings and workshops where “breaking news” on new disease occurrences is reported.

Early detection Detection of an emerging disease situation within a country’s national territory within the shortest time frame possible. The aim of an early detection system is to ensure detection of the introduction of, or sudden increase in the incidence of, any disease of aquatic animals that has the potential of developing to epizootic proportions and/or causing serious socio-economic consequences. It embraces all initiatives that lead to improved awareness and knowledge of the distribution and behavior of disease outbreaks (and of infection) and that allow forecasting of the source and evolution of the disease outbreaks and the monitoring of the effectiveness of disease control campaigns

Early detection Key components of a national early detection system (modified from OIE, 2004) Broad awareness, e.g. among the personnel employed at aquaculture establishments or involved in processing, of the characteristic signs of listed diseases and characteristics of other diseases that could be caused for concern (“emerging diseases”). Experienced veterinarians or other aquatic animal health professionals trained in recognizing and reporting suspicious disease occurrence. Ability of the Competent Authority to undertake rapid and effective disease investigation. Access by the Competent Authority to laboratories with the expertise and facilities required to diagnose and differentiate listed and emerging diseases from endemic or benign infections.

Risk analysis (in the context of contingency planning) determining which aquatic resources are at a particular level of risk from aquatic animal imports for aquaculture, processing or live/fresh marketing and thus merit protection via investment in a prevention programme and contingency plan measures; and determining which control options present the greatest chance for success versus risk of failure, should the disease of concern appear in naïve (vulnerable) resources. This entails an analysis of the cost of each proposed control option, weighed against the consequences of failure to contain or eradicate the pathogen.

Surveillance Disease surveillance is an underpinning necessity for any effective government aquatic animal health protection programme. This maximizes the chances of early detection of diseases of concern and provides the data required for science-based certification of export health status, international reporting and verification of freedom from diseases. A comprehensive disease surveillance system provides a reliable picture of the health status of aquatic animal populations on an ongoing basis. It also provides the tracking/traceability information for rapid and effective response to the emergence of an aquatic animal disease emergency.

Early response all actions that would be targeted at rapid and effective containment of, and then possibly elimination of, an emergency disease outbreak, with the objective of preventing it from spreading and becoming an uncontrollable epizootic. three broad control options for responding to emergency disease detection (the option chosen for any particular disease will depend on many different factors associated with the detection scenario): eradication containment mitigation

Early response: 3 broad options Eradication. Initial eradication of disease with eventual total elimination of the pathogen from the country or affected population, including sub-clinical infections if they occur. This is the highest level of response but may not always be possible, especially where the disease was well-established prior to the initial detection (i.e. where early detection has essentially failed), intermediate or carrier hosts are unknown, or the source of the infection is unknown (or related to an uncontrollable, ongoing, unrelated human activity such as recreational water use or commercial shipping)

Early response: 3 broad options Containment. Containment of the disease and pathogen within specified zones with controls in place around infected zones to prevent spread to uninfected populations within the country or straddling neighbouring borders.

Early response: 3 broad options Mitigation. Reduction of the impacts of the pathogen by implementing control measures at the farm, or affected population, level that reduce the occurrence and severity of disease. These measures focus on stocks within the infected zone, and concentrate on long-term circumvention of disease losses, either through development of treatments (vaccines, antibiotics as appropriate) or husbandry techniques (selection of resistant broodstock, variation of stocking/harvest times). These measures are based on failed attempts or epidemiological risk assessments indicating that eradication efforts are unfeasible or impractical.

Contingency plan

Recovery from an emergency disease Verification and international acceptance of disease freedom: to ensure that the causative agent, not just the clinical evidence of the disease, has been eradicated –infectious agents remain that multiply to disease levels as soon as the host populations begin to build up again in numbers

Recovery from an emergency disease Rehabilitation of farming and fishing communities If a disease agent has been successfully eradicated from an area, there will be a need to repopulate with disease-free animals. There is little economic benefit in repopulating any area in which a disease has become established with naïve (disease-free) animals. In this case, rehabilitation must focus on alternative species, or on protecting survivors that may have a degree of disease tolerance. These animals can be invaluable as the progenitors for controlled breeding programmes for disease resistance.

Staying free Prevention is the key to staying free from serious infectious diseases, especially since the number of cases of successful eradication are quite limited compared with examples where diseases have established wherever they have spread.

Staying free A thorough “post-mortem” review should be carried out while the events of the emergency disease outbreak are still fresh in peoples’ minds. This review should be led by the Responsible Officer and should include key representatives of each organization involved in the contingency plan, as well as private stakeholders directly affected by the disease outbreaks.

Post-mortem review analysing how the disease entered the country and the mechanisms (proven or suspect) for its subsequent spread, in order to strengthen measures that can effectively prevent the disease from re-emerging or spreading; determining how or if disease surveillance and early detection procedures can be improved and which geographical areas contain vulnerable resources that require the greatest concentration of surveillance effort (e.g. those with indirect contact with exposed populations or with inconclusive diagnostic results); reviewing suggested revisions to parts of the contingency plan that were determined to be weak under the real-time exercise;

Post-mortem review identifying any communication problems encountered with public awareness or information dissemination (e.g. language translation issues, not enough pamphlets, wrong media outlets etc.). identifying gaps in legislative or other support frameworks that need to be revised or otherwise improved; assessing the need for further training programmes and identifying any specific areas needing improvement, such as diagnostic methodologies

“Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.” Corollary to Murphy’s Law “ An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...” Thank you
