Animal Disease Disasters
How did this incident
start?
– A suspect disease
was reported to State
Veterinary Officials

4

What should tip a producer off?

5


6


7

Critical control steps for
rapid detection:

– Producer called a
veterinarian when their
animals were sick.
– Veterinarian reported a
suspect FAD to the State Vet
or Area Veterinarian In
Charge (AVIC)

8

State Veterinarian / AVIC

– Tasked out a Foreign Animal
Disease Diagnostician (FADD)

» Conducted a Foreign Animal
Disease / Emerging Animal Disease
Investigation (FAD/EDI)

9

Important Points:

– Most FADD /EAD investigations are negative
» Hundreds done every year!
– Investigations are kept confidential
» However…….
– Producer support is essential!

10

Lets assume….
We have a confirmed positive case of FMD

11

Keys to Response
– Rapid disease detection, containment and
control
Keys to Business Continuity
– Proving containment
– Determining where the disease is and is not
Keys to Recovery
– Maintain biosecurity
– Disease surveillance
» “Proof of freedom”

12

Quiz Time?
Q: Why is commerce stopped during an FAD event?

13

Who needs information?

14

Accurate information is vital to….
Response
– Disease detection / containment
– Disease eradication / control
– Regionalization / Compartmentalization
– Business Continuity

Recovery
– Speed of response directly related to successful
recovery!

The Senario

53

The Agent:

Foot and Mouth Disease Virus

54

Foot and Mouth Disease
• Picornaviridae, Aphthovirus
−7 distinct serotypes
− Not cross protective
• Affects cloven-hoofed animals
• Inactivated at
− pH below 6.5 and above 11
• Survives in milk, milk products,
bone marrow, lymph glands

Center for Food Security and Public Health
Iowa State University - 2004

Morbidity/ Mortality
• Morbidity 100% in susceptible animal
population
− United States, Canada, Mexico, others
• Mortality less than 1%
− Higher in young animals and highly
virulent virus strains
− Animals generally destroyed to prevent
spread


Animal Transmission
• Respiratory aerosols
− Proper temperature and humidity
− Survives 1-2 days in human respiratory
tract
• Direct contact
− Ingestion of infected animal parts
− AI, biologicals, hormones
• Indirect contact via fomites


Human Transmission
• Very rarely develop mild clinical signs
• Type O, C, rarely A
• Act as a transmitter to animals
− Harbor virus in respiratory tract
for 1-2 days
− Contaminated boots, clothing, vehicles
− Spread to susceptible animals
• Ingestion of unprocessed milk or dairy
products from infected animals

The Scenario

63

Senario
Foot and Mouth Disease confirmed in
swine at a local sale barn in south east
Missouri.
State and Federal Animal Health Officials
have set up the initial control area in order
to focus response activities.
The infected zone incorporates sections of
4 states: MO, OK, AR, and KS.

64

Senario
The rest of each state not included in the
infected zone has been designated as a
buffer zone
States surrounding those 4 states are
included in the surveillance zone. All other
states are currently considered free areas.

65

Current Response Zones

66

The rules

67

Control Area
A Federal quarantine prohibiting interstate commerce of
susceptible livestock has been established in the control area.
The State Animal Health Official (SAHO) also issued a state-
level quarantine prohibiting intrastate movements of
susceptible livestock.
Movements of people, livestock conveyances, feed
conveyances, farm equipment and susceptible livestock inside
the control area will be limited, and if movements are allowed
by SAHO they will be by permit only.
Movement regulations will change as the scope of the
outbreak is determined.

68

Buffer Zone
Susceptible livestock are not be allowed to
leave the buffer zone without permission
and movements within or out of the zone
will be by permit.

69

At Risk Premises
At risk premises are those premises that
have susceptible livestock and are located
in the buffer zone or, in some cases, inside
the surveillance zone. At risk premises
within the buffer zone may be allowed to
move within the zone under permit
provided that the appropriate biosecurity
measures have been implemented.

70

Monitored Premises
Monitored premises are in close proximity to
infected premises, and are located in the
infected zone or buffer zone. Premises can
only be classified as monitored when they
objectively demonstrate that they are not to be
designated as infected premises, contact
premises, suspect premises, or at-risk
premises, following complete epidemiological
investigation, biosecurity risk assessments,
and diagnostic testing(surveillance).

71

Lets get started! To the Table!

72

In your group:
– Discuss what farm level bio security protocols
should be implemented to demonstrate to
Authorities that the level of protection has
been increased
– Discuss how you coordinated with industry to

75

4th Assignment: Surveillance
In your group:
– Discuss what “proof negative” means to you.

negative”
accomplish disease surveillance.

76
