Notification procedures
Types of reports
• Immediate notification of disease, infection or
unusual epidemiological events
• Weekly reports: follow-up to the immediate
notification
• Final report:
• if the outbreaks have ended (event closed)
• if the situation becomes endemic
• Six-monthly report
• Annual report
Emerging Disease
… a new infection resulting from the
evolution or change of an existing
pathogenic agent, a known infection
spreading to a new geographic area
or population, or a previously
unrecognized pathogenic agent or
disease diagnosed for the first time
and which has a significant impact on
animal or public health
OIE Role in Early Warning,
Confirmation, Surveillance
• Unofficial information (including emerging, reemerging and zoonotic diseases)
• Rumor tracking and informal discussion often precedes official
reporting
• Information from OIE Reference laboratories of confirmation
using established standards
• OIE component of FAO/WHO/OIE collaborative GLEWS project
• Complemented by official notifications with complete (and
ongoing) information on the epidemiologic situation and control
measures taken
• Developing new diagnostic assays and
algorithms which can be validated and included
in “living” Code and Manual
• Reference Laboratories
• 187 laboratories in 36 Member Countries or
Territories on 100 diseases
• Expertise on named disease(s) on the OIE lists
• Identified international expert
http://photos.news.wisc.edu
OIE Reference Laboratories and
Collaborating Centres*
• 35 centres from 20 Member Countries or
Territories on 33 topics
• Expertise in a specific designated sphere of
competence (epidemiology, risk analysis)
* As of May 2009
http://www.oie.int
• Collaborating Centres
OIE Reference Laboratory
Mandate
Mandate:
• to function as a centre of expertise and standardisation
for a designated disease(s) or topics;
• to store and distribute to national laboratories biological
reference products and any other reagents used in the
diagnosis and control of the designated disease(s) or
topics;
• to develop new procedures for diagnosis and control of
the designated disease(s) or topics;
• to gather, process, analyse and disseminate
epizootiological data relevant to their speciality;
• to place expert consultants at the disposal of the OIE
OIE Reference Laboratory
Mandate
Additional contributions:
• provision of scientific and technical training for personnel
from Member Countries of the Office;
• provision of diagnostic testing facilities to Member
Countries
• organisation of scientific meetings on behalf of the
Office; coordination of scientific and technical studies in
collaboration with other laboratories or organisations;
publication and dissemination of any information in their
sphere of competence which may be useful to Member
Countries of the Office.
OIE Reference Laboratory Reporting
Responsibility
…provision of diagnostic testing facilities to
Member Countries: In the case of results that
are confirmed positive for diseases that are
reportable to OIE, the Reference Laboratory
should immediately inform the OIE Delegate of
the Member Country from which the samples
originated as well as the OIE Headquarters
World Distribution of OIE Reference
Laboratories (as of May 2008)
List of OIE Reference Laboratories http://www.oie.int/eng/OIE/organisation/en_listeLR.htm
Each OIE Laboratory Twinning
Project...
• Is a link between OIE Reference Laboratory or
Collaborating Centre (Parent) and national
laboratory (Candidate)
• Aims to improve expertise and diagnostic
capacity with eventual aim of reaching OIE
standards - Optimal goal is to achieve OIE
Reference Laboratory designation
• Should be sustainable once the project is over
Extending the network of OIE capacity,
expertise and standards through
Laboratory Twinning
• To provide regional support with better
geographical coverage for diseases and topics
that are a priority in a given region
• Improved access for more countries to high
quality diagnostics and expertise
• Better scientific expertise allows members to:
• Readily apply science-based guidelines and
standards of OIE
• To debate OIE scientific justification for standards on
an equal footing with other Members (better
representation)

the capacity/ability of selected national
laboratories to enhance the ability to respond to
diseases at the animals-human-ecosystem
interface (US CDC)
• Collaborative expansion of the Mediterranean
Zoonoses Control Programme (MZCP) into a
FAO/OIE/WHO center of excellence (e.g. Athens
/ Padova) to strengthen the tripartite effort to
reduce risks of diseases at the animal-humanecosystem interfaces
Relevant OIE collaborations with FAO
and WHO

Reduction outreach to countries
• OFFLU (OIE/FAO Network on Animal Influenza
Expertise) – also with WHO Global Influenza
Programme

Country Evaluation of the Performance of
Veterinary Services (PVS)
Competent Veterinary Services is a Global Public Good
• PVS Evaluation - a qualitative assessment of the performance
and the compliance of the Veterinary Services with respect to
the OIE international standards* on quality of VS
• PVS Gap Analysis - an identification of needs and the
corresponding resources in collaboration with the host country
authorities to address improved compliance for priority critical
competencies as identified by a preceding PVS evaluation
* OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code, Chapter 3.2

PVS
Gap Analysis
PVS Gap Analysis process
• Gap identification and PVS Gap Analysis
• National use for self improvement and national budget applications
(Ministry of Finance; Parliament)
• External use for financial support (Donors’ investment programs), if needed
• PVS Gap Analysis field visits
• Dialogue with the country
• Country appropriation/internal consultations
• Validation of choices and priorities with the country concerned
Special PVS Gap Analysis Project
Animal-Human Interface
• Project to assess needed support by one or a few
selected countries in respect to establishing and
strengthening the veterinary services to respond to new
or ongoing diseases within the animal-human-ecosystem
interface, with an initial focus on avian influenza
• The activity will focus on a PVS Gap Analysis with the
specific task to identify the links and potential for
coordinated animal and human health response
• In collaboration with US CDC avian influenza dedicated country staff,
and country human and animal health representatives
• Using the PVS Gap Analysis and results from any existing human
health system evaluation (e.g., US CDC pandemic influenza monitoring
and evaluation tool, WHO IHR assessment tool [under development])
