Current Epidemiological Situation: Passive Surveillance FMD in KSA

Current Epidemiological Situation: Annual Vaccination Coverage Total of 4,847,163 vaccinated Animals: Sheep (3,635,082). Goat (990, 382). Cattle (221,699). FMD in KSA

Current Epidemiological Situation Two months earlier, multiple outbreaks had been reported to the Central Emergency Unit confirming FMD as the suspected disease. Special Epidemiological teams Had been nominated to investigate the outbreaks. Central Veterinary Lab detected FMD virus serotype (A). Small ruminants Vaccine in use does not contain serotype A (O-Manisa, O-3039 or O-Panasia2, SAT-2 Eretria) amendment had been done using the cattle vaccine (O-Manisa, O-3039, SAT-2 Eriteria, Asia-1 Shamir, A Iran-05 and A Saudi Arabia-95) in concentration of ≥ 6PD50 which controlled the outbreaks.

National Strategy for FMD Control in KSA - 1 2 3 4 5 Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 MOA KSA FAO-OIE Phase - No Plan 1 Identify Risk & Control Options 2 Implement Risk Based Control 3 Eliminate Circulation, Implement Control Strategy 4 Maintain Zero Circulation Under Vaccination 5 Maintain Zero Circulation Without Vaccination FMD in KSA

National Strategy for FMD Control in KSA Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Phase One (12 Months) Surveillance system establishment. Epidemiological Situation Update. Risk Analysis. Phase Two (18 Months) Movement Restriction of cattle & Compulsory Vaccination. Movement Restriction of Small Ruminants & Optional Vaccination. Phase Three (18 Months) Movement Restriction of All Farm Animals. Compulsory Vaccination of All Farm Animals. Phase Four (12 Months) Mass Survey to Insure that all farm Animals are free without vaccination. FMD in KSA

National Strategy for FMD Control in KSA Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Expected Obstacles Reluctance of animal owners in vaccination, implementing of animal identification system and implementing of animal movement regulations. Sub-clinical Infections of small Ruminants and miss diagnosis of diseased ones Animals movement between Countries of the region. FMD in KSA
