CONTROL STRATEGY
-Restriction of animal movements, quarantine, ring vaccination, sample collection and diagnosis
-All susceptible species are vaccinated in the protection zone.
All newborns and unvaccinated adults are vaccinated everyyear. (Except Thrace region)
Each provincial directorate decides own annual vaccination program and in this context Etlik VCCRI sends the vaccines.
Movements of unvaccinated animals to another province is not allowed and the health certificate is not issued by competent authority. (Auto-control by VIS and TURKVET databases)
All imported animals are vaccinated.
Training activities are organized for awereness.
OBJECTIVE; firstly in Thrace, then in Anatolia to obtain the free status.
