1 Exotic Disease Response Training Introduction to Tracing

2 Session Outcome At the end of this session, you should be able to: describe what Tracing is name the roles in the Tracing Group describe, at a high level, what those roles do, and explain where Tracing fits into the Exotic Disease Response process.

Introduction to Tracing 3 During this session we will cover: Training Agenda 1.What is Tracing? 2.Exotic Disease Response Roles – Tracing Group 3.What tasks they perform 4.Where Tracing fits in the Exotic Disease Response process 5.Tracing Terminology

Introduction to Tracing 4 The investigation, confirming and recording of all movements that may have spread a disease to or from infected premises. What is Tracing?

Introduction to Tracing 5 What movements are traced? Animals People Vehicles Things IP/SP

Introduction to Tracing 6 Conveyors – any thing, living or inanimate, that can transport a virus from infected places to other places e.g. susceptible and non-susceptible animals, persons, conveyances (vehicles etc) wool, meat, milk, hay and skins. Why trace these items?

Introduction to Tracing 7 Response Policy Outlines the objectives for the Tracing and other Teams Contains technical information for the Unwanted Organism Outlines specific items to trace

Introduction to Tracing 8 Animals People Vehicles Things Backward Trace – did these cause the disease? IP/SP Types of traces

Introduction to Tracing 9 Animals People Vehicles Things Forward Trace - have they spread the disease? IP/SP Types of traces

Introduction to Tracing 18 Tracing Coordinator Establish a functioning movement tracing capability in an incursion response Assess, schedule, coordinate and monitor the tracing of stock, persons, products, vehicles and property that may have had contact with any infected place or other contaminated material Liaise closely with Surveillance and Movement Control Coordinators to ensure that new trace information is followed up, and Assist with the planning of response actions

Introduction to Tracing 19 Tracing Team Leader Lead a group of people in an incursion response charged with the tracing of movements of people, stock, vehicles and products back from and in advance of a notified movement or association involving an Infected or Suspect Place

Introduction to Tracing 20 Tracing Evaluation Officer Assess the risks associated with, importance and priority of results of movement traces in an incursion response, and Determine future surveillance, investigation and organism management actions

Introduction to Tracing 21 Tracing Officer Trace and record the movements of people, stock, vehicles and products back from and in advance of a notified movement or association involving an Infected or Suspect Place

Introduction to Tracing 22 Exotic Disease Response Process

Introduction to Tracing 23 Tracing Terminology Trace – A record of the movement of items which may be implicated in the spread of disease Forward Trace – Items coming off the infected property may have taken the disease somewhere else. These items are traced forward to their destination Backward Trace – Items coming onto the infected property may have bought the disease from somewhere else. These items are traced backward to their origins

Introduction to Tracing 24 Tracing Terminology Conveyor – any thing, living or inanimate, that can transport a virus from infected places to other places Conveyance – Any craft, truck, cargo container, horse box, wagon, cart tray, cage, kennel or vehicle used to transport, or may have had contact with, an unwanted organism Encounter – Any event where there is an interaction between an infected conveyor and any other conveyor(s) and there may be a transfer of disease to the new conveyor(s)

Introduction to Tracing 25 New Trace – A trace obtained while processing an existing trace Confirmed Trace – A verified trace. Also known as a Confirmation trace False Trace – The trace information is incorrect Delayed Trace – Initial contact with the contact person for a trace cannot be made Suspended Trace – A trace not requiring follow-up or confirmatrion at that time Tracing Terminology
