Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) - Egypt

Establishment of Sustainable Web-Based Epidemiological Network in Egypt (TADINFO)

TAD-Info module established and operationalized through USAID-funded projects to strengthen the national capacity for H5N1 epidemio-surveillance epidemiological networking between GOVS and local veterinary services.




The following support was provided:

  • Training of local epidemiologists,
  • Digital map, server, other hardware.
  • Customization of soft wear. 

The TAD-Info has been adapted if compared to its original version with the support of USAID-funded projects. This network was officially adopted in Egypt and is presently serving not only AI but also all animal diseases; it aims to improve the speed and quality of data capturing, consolidation and sharing.
