Transcription

1 FMD VIRUS POOL 4- EASTERN AFRICA SABENZIA N.WEKESA Coordinator Eastern Africa Regional Laboratory Network/ FMD laboratory Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya

2 Countries in Pool 4

3 FMD serotypes O, A, SAT1, SAT2, (C & SAT3) endemic in this region Note The epidemiology of FMD is poorly understood... Limited capacities to collect and fully analyse samples Studies in wildlife not well-established Under-reporting Serotypes in Pool 4

4 FMD Events in Kenya 2010(249) 2011(128) Uganda 2011(22/110 districts) 1500 samples collected Tanzania Samples sent to OVI and WRL Serotyping and Genotyping results 2010 and 2011 O(44)-EA-4 O (42) A (4) -? A (0) SAT1(110)- SAT1(6) NWZ SAT2(28) SAT2 (2) -? No genotype O Genotyping on-going SAT1 in buffalo SAT2 in cattle O,A,SAT1,2,3 on serology O,A,SAT1,2,3 on serology SAT2(IV) Ethiopia 58 reports O (EA-3) O- EA-2) A -GI Africa SAT1-NWZ Current Risk 2012 SAT2 and O Wildlife Border outbreaks near Kenya Border outbreaks, SAT2(IV) Type O in Tigray

5 North Sudan South Sudan FMD Events in (9) 2011(9) O,SAT sera collected Somalia Outbreaks not quantified Rwanda Surveillance at Borders Serotyping and Genotyping results 2010 and 2011 A,SAT1 on serology 1183 sera positive on NSP ELISA Not Risk assessment done survey No outbreaks Current Risk 2012 O,SAT2 in circulation, transhumance Un-diagnosed outbreaks Yearly outbreaks Neighbouring countries with outbreaks

6 FMD Events in Burundi 1 outbreak (Makamba) in 2011 DRC Outbreaks in East and North territories Eritrea Many unreported outbreaks Serotyping and Genotyping results 2010 and 2011 O; no genotyping done O and A Samples taken to WRL- Pirbright Djibouti No outbreaks lately July-Aug SAT1 on serology Current Risk 2012 Un-diagnosed viruses Border incursions Un-reported yearly outbreaks Fear of border incursions

7 Kenya: RECENT FMD EVENTS/ACTIVITIES IN POOL 4 Have had confirmed 32 reports of O (in Eastern, Central and Rift valley) and15 SAT2 reports (mainly in Rift Valley and Central) between January and mid June Selected samples for sent to WRL Pirbright Uganda: - Unconfirmed outbreaks in Eastern and NE In May 2012 Outbreaks near border with DRC, with mortality among calves. Samples yet to be analyzed Associated with increased livestock from Eastern Uganda

8 HIGHLIGHT ON RECENT FMD EVENTS IN POOL 4 Tanzania: Upgrading of FMD lab to BSL3 DRC: In May recorded 2 outbreaks near national park bordering Rwanda and Burundi. Serotypes unconfirmed Associated with animal imports from neighbours. Djibouti: No reported events lately

9 HIGHLIGHT ON RECENT FMD EVENTS IN POOL 4 Eritrea: In the process of shipping 2011 samples to WRL Ethiopia: March 2012 to May 2012; A total of 6535 cattle have developed FMD clinical signs (near Sudan and Eritrea borders and Centro-North) FMD was confirmed by 3ABC ELISA No genotyping yet due to limited resources

10 HIGHLIGHT ON RECENT FMD EVENTS IN POOL 4 Rwanda: No FMD reported lately border surveillances intensified fearing incursions from neighbours. Somalia: Un-reported and undiagnosed outbreaks. Risk assessment surveys are ongoing. Sudan (North): On-going but un-diagnosed outbreaks. Sudan (South): Outbreaks un-diagnosed-limited capacity Socio-economic and countrywide sero-surveillance completed.

11 REGIONAL PROGRAMS AND CONTROL ROADMAP VISIONS FOR 2022 Out of the 14 countries, 12 are actively participating in the regional Eastern Africa FMD Roadmap Latest selfassessments; all countries were in PCP- FMD Stage 1 except South Sudan (Stage 0) See table...

12 COUNTRY PCP STAGE POSITION FOR 2012 AND ENVISAGED PROGRESSION TO 2022 Adapted from Nairobi, Kenya March 2012 meeting and EuFMD workshop report

13 POOL 4: ON-GOING ACTIVITIES IN THE REGION Internationally-funded projects VETGOV on improving veterinary service governance (EU/FAO/OIE); Regional laboratory and epidemiology networks - EARLN- FMD (EuFMD/FAO) and EAREN (USAID/EC) Real-Time training courses (EuFMD/FAO) Scattered research projects in individual countries including wildlife surveillances... Individual country efforts progress in PCP (Identification of risks and developing strategic FMD control plans).

14 POOL 4: PLANNED MEDIUM-TERM AND LONG-TERM REGIONAL PROGRAMS TOWARDS 2022 cont... Strengthening regional collaboration thru AU- IBAR Continue with Regional Roadmap activities Advocacy for FMD control to be given prominence on national animal health agenda

15 POOL 4: PLANNED MEDIUM-TERM AND LONG-TERM REGIONAL PROGRAMS TOWARDS 2022 Advocacy for AU-IBAR and RECs to enhance involvement Improve resource mobilisation Efforts to improve Veterinary Services: Technical capacity on FMD surveillance and control Private sector involvement along the PCP Socio-economic studies on FMD Political and social goodwill

16 CONCLUSION Majority of countries will be wholly or zonally beyond stage 1 by 2016 and at least in stage3 by 2022 Relentless Global support, regional approach and harmonized efforts will go a long way in helping realise PCP roadmap goals If all efforts envisaged in the regional and individual national plans are fully implemented, vision 2022 will be a reality
