15

Justification► FMD can be economically and socially

destabilizing disease► Although Jordan Achieved NO Reported

Outbreaks in Recent Years, the Disease still pose major threat to its animal population and economy through restrictions on animal movement and trading of live animals and animal products

► Economic losses on the national level due to animal death, loss of productivity and veterinary treatments and services

16

Justification► The aim of reducing FMD risk in endemic

countries, is a shared interest and is being considered a Global Public Good by The OIE, FAO and many other International Organizations.

► Therefore the aim of this Strategic Plan is Maintenance of Current Status and Possibly move to Next Stage 3 According to OIE/FAO

Recommendations17

FMD Control Policy ► Control the spread of the disease► Limit its effects to the infected zone as

quickly as possible. ► Minimize the overall cost of the outbreak on

the animal owner and public by minimizing the number of animals and farms that might become affected

► Protect the health and safety of the public and those directly involved in controlling the outbreak

18

Key Result Areas►Reduce the likelihood of new

outbreaks of FMD by putting in place measures to prevent an incursion

►Detect and diagnose new outbreaks quickly

►Preparedness to combat the adverse effects of an outbreak 

19

Surveillance, Reporting and Laboratory

diagnosis► Active (FAO-TCP project) and passive surveillance ► Serum samples must be submitted twice a year to

the FMD Diagnostic Laboratory for antibody detection using ELISA.

► Keep computerized records for traceability► Monitoring is done through reports submitted from all

regions. Reports must be sent at least once a month from every municipality, even if there is no outbreak (zero reporting or negative monitoring).

► Investigation of reports of suspect disease outbreaks.► Slaughterhouse monitoring and animal markets

20

Livestock Movement control► Solid Animal Identification and registration system which

allows traceability► Animal movement permits (Certificates) 

Inspected at several check points Documentation, recording, and availability of the permission at

all hours of the day.►  The fundamental components on the control of animal

movement used are: A movement permission system from the farm to the place of destination Regulations and rules permitting declaration of FMD disease free status Requirements that allow movement of animals to FMD protected areas The ability to hold animals in quarantine and formal legislation to return

animals to place of origin or to destroy them if necessary.

21

Vaccination and Vaccine Development

► Use Field strains► Timely and correct diagnosis of outbreaks necessary ► Development of an effective national reporting and

information management system► Local vaccine manufacturing companies ► Vaccine status accreditation and record keeping► Compulsory vaccination and recording► Development of an harmonized (central and

provincial) Laboratory Information Management System

22

Livestock-Wildlife Interface Interaction

► A wildlife disease surveillance must be initiated in Jordan. ► Any unusual mortality or disease observed in a wild animal

must be investigated in consultation with (MOA or JUST Veterinary Faculty).

► During an outbreak of FMD wild animals will be taken into account in considering appropriate control measures

► If FMD confirmed in a wild animal, a Wild Animal Infected Zone will be declared. This will be of an appropriate size to prevent the spread of disease.

► Two stations for wildlife animals in Jordan of deer and Arabian Oryx under MOA control.

23

Public Awareness and Communication Technology (ICT) Utilization

► A public awareness campaign► The assistance of the Communication Technology

and National News Agencies must be sought. ► The campaign must use various types of media

targeting regional and provincial issues relating to FMD control and eradication.

► Brochures must be produced on several aspects of the FMD campaign and on meat quality.
