Simona Forcella Chargée de mission – OIE Status Department PPR General requirements of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code Cairo, Egypt, 5-6 October 2016

2 Terrestrial Animal Health Code
Horizontal Chapters Disease notification (1.1.) compliance with WAHIS Animal health surveillance (1.4.) surveillance Import risk analysis (2.1.) Evaluation of Veterinary Services (3.2.) quality of the Veterinary Services Veterinary legislation (3.4.) quality of the Veterinary Services Import/export procedures (5) Obligations related to certification (5.1.) Disease Specific Chapters General provisions, case definition Safe commodities, if any Criteria for disease status: country, zone or compartment Provisions for import of commodities Pathogen inactivation Specific disease surveillance Endorsment of control programme The Terrestrial Code set out standards for the improvement of animal health and welfare and veterinary public health. User’s guide. Who should use the standards? Veterniary Authority Why to use the standards? To set up measures for early warning, internal reporting, notification and control of pathogenic agents. Including zoonotic ones. And preventing their spread via international trade in animals and animal products. Avoiding unjustifyed trade barriers. How to use the standards?

3 OIE official recognition of disease status
2013 Adoption of the resolution adding PPR to the list of diseases for official recognition and for the endorsement of an official control programme and procedure 2014 Adoption of the 1st list of Member Countries free from PPR HISTORICAL In 2012 during the AHG it was mentioned that there was the possibility of adding PPR as the fifth diseases for official status, especially following the momentum created by the eradication of rinderpest and the similarities between rinderpest and PPR in terms of availability of vaccines and the epidemiology of the disease. It might be possible to achieve the eradication of PPR in the medium term, if all countries take concerted action. Need to combine the eradication efforts with the OIE’s diseases freedom recognition mechanism in order to achieve verifiable eradication of the disease. A possible target was to have the Terrestrial Animal Health Code chapter on PPR with provisions for official status recognition adopted by the OIE World Assembly in May 2014. During the 81st General Session (2013), the Assembly adopted Resolution No. 30, which specified and updated the procedure for Member Countries to follow to achieve official recognition and maintenance of status for certain animal diseases, including PPR, During the 81st General Session (2013), also the Assembly adopted Resolution No. 29 adding classical swine fever (CSF) and peste des petits ruminants (PPR) to the list of diseases for which status is officially recognised by the OIE and establishing the endorsement by the OIE of an official control programme for PPR in accordance to the relevant provisions of the Terrestrial Code. The first list included 48 Member Countries 47/48 were recognised as free on an historical basis

4 OIE Standards for official recognition of PPR freedom
Article 1.4.6 Surveillance to demonstrate freedom from disease or infection without pathogen specific surveillance Article General provisions, including case definition Article Safe commodities Article to Articles related to status: PPR free country/zone/compartment containment zone/ recovery Articles to Recommendations for importing commodities Articles Virus inactivation Article to Surveillance Article Endorsement of the official control programme

5 Chapter 1.4. - Animal Health Surveillance
Historical Freedom Article 1.4.6 Surveillance to demonstrate freedom from disease or infection Point a) Historically free - without formally applying pathogen specific surveillance Disease never occurred or absent for at least 25 years …provided that for at least the previous 10 years: Has been notifiable Early detection system in place for all relevant species Measures to prevent introduction have been in place and no vaccination (unless otherwise provided for in the Terrestrial Code) Infection is known not to be in wildlife Unless otherwise specified in the relevant disease chapter, a country or zone may be recognised as free from infection without formally appliyng a pathogen-specific surveillance programme when-for the past 10 years The disease has been a notifiable disease An early detection system has been in place for all relevant species Measures to prevent disease or infection introduction have been in place; no vaccination against the disease has been carried out, unless otherwise provided in the Terrestrial Code. Infection is not known to be estabilished in wildlife within the country or zone. A country or zone cannot apply for historical freedom if there is any evidence of infection in wildlife

6 OIE Standards for official recognition of PPR freedom
Article 1.4.6 Surveillance to demonstrate freedom from disease or infection without pathogen specific surveillance Article General provisions, including case definition Article Safe commodities Article to Articles related to status: PPR free country/zone/compartment containment zone/ recovery Articles to Recommendations for importing commodities Articles Virus inactivation Article to Surveillance Article Endorsement of the official control programme

7 Case definition – infection of sheep and goats with PPRVirus
Article General provisions Susceptible animals- Only domestic sheep and goats play a significant epidemiological role Case definition – infection of sheep and goats with PPRVirus Occurrence of - clinical signs Occurrence of - infection Peste des petits ruminants susceptible animls are primarily domestic sheep and goat altought cattle, camels, buffaloes and some wild rulminants can be infected. Even if some wild small ruminants can be infective, only domestic sheep and goats play a significant epidemiological role

8 Article 14.7.2. Safe commodities
Glossary: a commodity which can be traded without the need for risk mitigation measures specifically directed against a particular listed disease, infection or infestation and regardless of the status of the country or zone of origin for that disease, infection or infestation For PPR : Hides and skins which have been submitted to the usual chemical and mechanical processes in use in the tanning industry When authorising import or transit through their territory Veterinary Authorities should not require any PPR related conditions regardless of PPR status of the exporting country or zone

9 Article 14.7.3. PPR free country or zone
1) Criteria to evaluate the PPR status of a country or zone Notifiable and field or laboratory investigations Ongoing awareness programme Vaccination prohibited Importation Veterinary Authority Surveillance

10 Article 14.7.3. PPR free country or zone
2) to qualify for inclusion in the list a Member Country should apply for recognition of HISTORICAL freedom point 1 – Article (surveillance) OR for recognition of freedom To qualify for inclusion in the list of PPR free countries or zones, a MC should either

11 Article 14.7.3. PPR free country or zone
A record of regular and prompt animal disease reporting

12 Article 14.7.3. PPR free country or zone
Declaration that during the past 24 months No outbreaks of PPR No evidence of PPRV infection No vaccination against PPR Importation (domestic ruminants, semen, oocytes,embryos) carried out according to PPR chapter

13 Article 14.7.3. PPR free country or zone
Supply documented evidence to the OIE that: surveillance in accordance with Chapter 1.4. is in operation and that regulatory measures for prevention and control of PPR have been implemented no animals vaccinated against PPR have been imported since cessation of vaccination

Article Maintenance Retention on the list requires annual reconfirmation of point 2 of Article On-line system for annual reconfirmation

15 OIE Standards for official recognition of PPR freedom
Article 1.4.6 Surveillance to demonstrate freedom from disease or infection without pathogen specific surveillance Article General provisions, including case definition Article Safe commodities Article to Articles related to status: PPR free country/zone/compartment containment zone/ recovery Articles to Recommendations for importing commodities Articles Virus inactivation Article to Surveillance Article Endorsement of the official control programme

16 Trade recommendations (Articles 14.7.8. to 14.7.25.)
From countries/zones Importation from PPR free countries or zone Importation from countries or zones considered infected with PPRV Domestic sheep and goats and wild ruminants x Semen of domestic sheep and goats Embryos of domestic sheep and goats and captive wild ruminants Fresh meat and meat products Milk and milk products from sheep and goats Meal ad flour from blood, defatted bones, hooves, claws and horns from sheep and goats Hooves, claws, bones and horns, hunting trophies from sheep and goats Wool, hair, raw hides and skins from sheep and goats Products of animal origin from sheep and goats intended for pharmaceutical or surgical use Trade recommandation are built to help MC to easly trade animals and animal proucts avoiding trade of pathogens, in this case PPRV. The Veterinary Authority of the importing country should require an INTERNATIONAL VETERINARY CERTIFICATE attesting the requirements of the Terrestrial Code, there are differences and similarities, depending on the traded commodity and on the status of the country or zone. Prevent the aetiological agent from being introduced in an importing country. The OIE standards take into consideration: The NATURE of the traded commoditie The ANIMAL HEALTH situation of the exporting country The RISK REDUCTION MEASURES applicable to commodities

Article 1.4.6 Surveillance to demonstrate freedom from disease or infection without pathogen specific surveillance Article General provisions, including case definition Article Safe commodities Article to Articles related to status: PPR free country/zone/compartment containment zone/ recovery Articles to Recommendations for importing commodities Articles Virus inactivation Article to Surveillance Article Endorsement of the official control programme

18 Article 14.7.34. OIE endorsed official control programme for PPR
Objective for Member Countries is to progressively improve the situation in their territories and eventually attain free status for PPR On a voluntary basis, when the measures have already been implemented programme Should be applicable to the entire territory even if on a zonal basis

19 Article 14.7.34. OIE endorsed official control programme for PPR
Evidence of capacity of VS (PVS Pathway) The measures have been already implemented when the official control programme is presented for adoption Information on epidemiology of the disease in country Surveillance, diagnostic capabilities, vaccination in accordance with the Terrestrial Code and the Terrestrial Manual Timeline Performance indicators Key elements: Performance indicators: Quantifiable/measurable; measure factors that are critical for the success of the control programme; tied to the objective of the control programme;

20 Withdrawal of an endorsed official control programme
Non-compliance with timelines Non-compliance of performance indicators Significant problems with the performance of Veterinary Services Increase in the incidence of PPR that cannot be addressed by the programme.

21 Chapter 1.6. Procedures for self declaration and for official recognition by the OIE Article Report of a Member Country which applies for recognition of status, under Chapter of the Terrestrial Code, as a PPR free country Article Report of a Member Country which applies for the OIE endorsement of its official control programme for PPR under Chapter of the Terrestrial Code How can I demonstrate in my dossier that what is requested in the Terrestrial Code has been implemented in my country???

22 The role of the questionnaire
It’s a tool designed to: Assist Member Countries, preparing dossiers, providing requested relevant evidence; Experts, evaluating dossier for status recognition; Give more transparency to the evaluation process; Standardise the evaluation among countries
