Why so many outbreaks in a vaccinated population?

• Vaccination compliance

• Vaccine matching (r1 value for O1-4625 = 0.37 Klement)

• Vaccination protocol

• Awareness and reporting - ID of index case

• Control measures enforcement

40th General Session of the EuFMD • 22-24 April 2013, Rome (Italy)

Challenges

• Suitable vaccine & available vaccine reservoir

• Improve vaccination compliance & protocol

• Active surveillance & regional collaboration

• Upgrade local Lab; subtype diagnosis

• Maintain & expend export; dairy products & bull semen

40th General Session of the EuFMD • 22-24 April 2013, Rome (Italy)

We seek collaboration

• On site training – Israel, PAT, neighboring countries

– Clinical signs and sampling

– Lab skills

– Active surveillance

• risk based

• “hot spots” - Rafah , northern border

• Increased efficiency by 3rd party involvement

• Communication & bridging political difficulties

• Vaccine reservoirs & funding
