Vector Borne Diseases in most countries, based on the history of the disease and retrospective data available, the hotspots for outbreaks are known and can be targeted for surveillance activities. There are also sufficient knowledge of the ecology and epidemiology of the disease and its vector available,
However, the early warning surveillance should always include meteorological monitoring as well as vector activity monitoring. Surveillance protocols should be adjusted to this knowledge and should also include monitoring of sentinel herds.
A workshop on VBD will be organized jointly by AOAD, EuFMD and FAO/OIE GF-TADs Regional Steering Committee for the Middle East.
