Hello colleagues
I will like to discuss with you about the Food and mouth disease in the region, particularly in Libya and Egypt.
I will propose to exchange information on vaccination programs and control of movement in the region for instant or any other useful topics.
So far, we know that some countries are using vaccines with certain serotypes others not, some countries have a surveillance programmes, etc...
Nonetheless these some questions I propose for further discusion:
1.Are we ready, prepared..., in north Africa, for a new strain to arrive?
2.Do we have all the measures to prevent this disease to arrive?
3.Do we have an active surveillance ready to detect quickily this disease, a vaccines pools ready?,
4. Are we prepared for a sanitary information policy for borders inspection posts, filed vets groups, stakeholders asociations? etc...
4.Have the field veterinarians and farmers been informed about this diseases, and are they able to recognize it easily? Do the have the tools to take samples easily and fast?
I supouse there many other questions to post and to exchange.
