- Abstract
∗THIS article summarises official reports received by DEFRA'S International Animal Health Division (IAHD) on outbreaks of Office International des Epizooties (OIE) List A diseases and other diseases of interest from October to December 2004. The IAHO monitors animal disease outbreaks in countries that have trade with the UK and EU member states. It also notes new epideminiogical developments which may give an early warning of emerging threats to the UK. Where a new disease outbreak could pose a threat, the IAHD carries out a qualitative analysis of the risks to UK livestock. These analyses are published on DEFRA'S website (www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/diseases/monitoring/index.htm). The EU and the UK take appropriate safeguard measures to mitigate the potential risks of disease being introduced through legal trade. DEFRA notes that it is also important to recognise the continuing threat to the UK through illegal imports from countries with endemic disease, and other routes, for example, highly pathogenic avian influenza and Newcastle disease from migrating birds. Official information in this article was received from the OIE and the European Commission, unless otherwise stated. Maps were prepared from official reports received during this period; they do not necessarily reflect the true situation in every country and should not be regarded as definitive. The maps were produced using ESRI Data and Maps CD (2002)
