6 Conclusion Rabies incidence continues to decrease in Europe New countries self-declaring freedom from the disease every year OIE and its global system WAHIS are essential to - monitor the evolution of the disease in the Region - provide standards for self-declaration of freedom following disease eradication World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 6

15 Conclusion Standing Group of Experts on Lumpy Skin Disease in South East Europe (SGE LSD) launched in July 2016 (GF TADs) Example of the new challenges that the Veterinary Services will have to face due to the climatic and environmental changes Risk model approach to help to maximise the effectiveness of effort need to control the disease World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 15

Methodology HPAI closed outbreaks in domestic

Comparison of yearly average durations World

27 Methodology HPAI closed outbreaks in domestic birds Europe (528 outbreaks) Other Regions (4075 outbreaks) Comparison of the overall median durations (Wilcoxon rank sum test) Comparison of yearly average durations World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 27

28 Comparison of the overall median durations (Wilcoxon rank sum test) Median duration of outbreaks in domestic birds in Europe lower than in other regions p-value=0.03 Median = 7,5 days Median = 31 days World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 28

29 Average duration of HPAI outbreaks in domestic birds in countries in the Europe region and countries in other regions, by year of start of the outbreak Duration (days) Average duration of outbreaks in domestic birds in Europe lower than in other regions every year Year of start of the outbreak Countries in Europe Countries in other regions World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 29

30 Conclusion Existence of strong technical capabilities and a high level of preparedness and response of the Veterinary Services in Europe HPAI continues to pose a significant threat to Europe Essential to monitor the evolution of the disease in the Region and in the world, and to alert countries to exceptional events World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 30
