Digitalization and innovation applied to the prevention and control of
foot-and-mouth and similar transboundary animal diseases (FAST) OS22 2
● Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR):
highly pathogenic viral disease
● Hosts: sheep and goats, but also
some wild artiodactyls, camelids and
suids.
● Direct Transmission
● Mobility main driver for virus
dissemination
● Present in Northern , Sahelian
Afraca, Middle East
● EU: appearance in Bulgaria in 2018
● UN Commtrade data: reconstruct
livestock network

Digitalization and innovation applied to the prevention and control of
foot-and-mouth and similar transboundary animal diseases (FAST) OS22 3
● Rift Valley Fever(RVF): arbovirus
● Hosts: small and large ruminants
● Can be transmitted to human.
● Transmission:
● ruminants through the bite of infected mosquitoes
(belonging to the Aedes and Culex species)
● to human through the direct contact with infected
blood or tissues.
● Presence in most countries in North, East, West and
Sahelian Africa as well as in the Arabian Peninsula.
● No appearance in EU
● Vector competency in Mediterranean areas
● UN Commtrade data: reconstruct livestock network

PPR and RVF 2020-2022
• Except for the case of Bulgarai , the diseases have not yet appeared in EU
• In the period 2020-2022 outbreaks/decalartaion in area surrounding EU directly or indirectly connected
• PPR: some countries in Eurasia with poor reporting ; circulation among wildlife
• RVF: circulation in sahlian areas
• Thraces Area, Romania and Southern Spain possible entry area due to regulated livestock
movements and wildlife
• Five species of concern (Ae. Caspius, Ae. Detritus, Ae. Vexans, Cx. Pipiens, Cx. Theileri) could be
involved in RVFV transmission in the Mediterranean Basin
• Regional, locally adapted strategies are needed to control the disease efficiently.
