Annual Animal Health Data

The information contained in this section is obtained from the Veterinary Services of OIE, FAO and WHO Member Countries in response to an annual questionnaire from the OIE Central Bureau. Up to the end of 2004, the information provided in the annual reports includes the OIE's former List A and B diseases and FAO List C diseases, zoonotic diseases, the number of new outbreaks of Former List A diseases, and details of the structure of the Veterinary Services. Information on Former List A, B and C diseases includes the species and the number of animals affected and the prevention and control measures implemented. Data on 2005 will be obtained using a new questionnaire, which replaces the previous one. There will be no duplication with data contained in the six-monthly report.

Data on Former List A, B and C diseases is available in Handistatus II, under the heading 'Annual animal disease status'. This includes information on the animal species affected and any prophylactic and control measures used.

There are two ways to access annual animal health status information in Handistatus II:

• select a region or country, and then select the disease of choice, or
• select the country of choice (with this selection, information on all animal diseases in this country will be available).

Then, choose one of the two categories under the heading 'Annual animal disease status'.

Monthly information on new outbreaks of Former List A diseases is also requested in the annual questionnaire.

To access this type of information, select a region and then select a List A disease. Then, choose the available category 'for a region and a disease' under the heading 'Monthly animal disease status (List A)'. A second way to access this information is to select a country and a List A disease, and then look under the heading 'Monthly animal disease status (List A)/ for a country and a disease'.
The table on zoonoses (animal diseases transmissible to humans) can be accessed under the heading 'Zoonoses (human cases)'. The user must select a zoonotic disease from the "Disease" list.

Information on the number of veterinarians and technical personnel in each country can be accessed under the heading 'Veterinary Personnel'. The region or a country must first be specified.

Maps showing the geographical distribution of Former List A diseases in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 are available.

A new electronic publication system for annual animal health data will subsequently come into service for 2005 data.

World Animal Health

The annual data contained in Handistatus II are also available in a hardcopy publication entitled World Animal Health. This publication also includes written reports from countries that wish to provide more details on their animal health status and on new activities of their Veterinary Services.

The reports for these countries for the years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 are also available in electronic form (pdf files) under the heading World Animal Health.

A new presentation is in preparation for 2005 data (to be published at the end of 2006).

Multiannual information

Animal health status information by country for multiple years is available in Handistatus II. To access information on a given disease covering several years, select a country or a region AND a disease, then select the heading "Multiannual animal health status".
