Objectives
Providing theoretical and practical trainingfocusing on:• contingency planning, wildlife surveillance and
measures in case of confirmation of the animaldisease in wild animals;
• role of wildlife in FMD disease epidemiology and thewildlife interface with domestic livestock;
• ecology, epidemiology, surveillance and control ofwildlife;

Objectives
Providing theoretical and practical trainingfocusing on:• early recognition of contagious animal disease signs
in wild animals;• alternative methods of wildlife management;• clinical examination and sampling of wild boar for
animal contagious diseases;• biosafety, biosecurity during the game processing.

Theoretical part• the role of EuFMD in FMD control and eradication;• contingency planning for FMD - measures to be implemented in case of
confirmation in wild animals;• wildlife health and management - strategy and capacity to address animal health
issues at the wildlife-livestock-human interface in Eastern and Central Europe;

Theoretical part
• Bulgarian experience with the FMDepidemics in 2011 - wild boarsurveillance, reinstatement of FMDfree status;
• telemetry studies in Bulgaria - homeranges, spatial and socialinteractions in wild boar populationand the role of wild boar in FMDdisease epidemiology;
• ANIMO* principle (Active, Non-Invasive Management of Outbreaks)- alternative sampling methods forthe animal disease detection.

Theoretical part (with involvement of participants to introduce their wildlife surveillance and
development of possible strategy for the region)

Conclusions
• wildlife management and surveillance strategyshould be further developed / amended / added as aspecific part in the Contingency plans;
• common strategies for the control of animalcontagious diseases in wildlife should be developedfor the Balkan region;
• would be useful to develop manual on Biosafetygood practices during the game processing forveterinarians and hunters;

Conclusions
• non-invasive sampling could be used as first indicatormethod for the early detection of FMD introduction;
• further development of ANIMO principle (Active,Non-Invasive Management of Outbreaks), ofsampling procedures and their inclusion in thenational animal disease surveillance programmes areneeded .
