4 Regional and global surveillance Led by WRL Pirbright European NRLs for global surveillance group Regional support laboratories in pools 4 and 5 Teleconference with FAO/OIE/EuFMD on Friday 4 th April to discuss regional reference centers (mandate for the labs, selection criteria, synergy and support from existing reference laboratories and government commitment) Rationale Pool 4 (Eastern Africa). NAHDIC in Ethiopia Identified and selected as an RSL by the EARLN network Pool 5 (West and Central Africa). The Embakasi FMD laboratory in Kenya LNERV in Senegal NVRI in Nigeria EARLN-FMD coordination in , history of providing regional diagnostic services on FMD Identified and selected as RSL by the RESOLAB Network Identified and selected as RSL by the RESOLAB Network ExCom87

5 Most important progress indicators Annual report 2013 expected in March 2014 (under WRL management) Consensus reached upon contents LoA FAO The Pirbright Institute (LoA will be signed soon) Regional support laboratories for pools 4 and 5 identified and training and support covered under LoA with WRL Support already started: Visit of David Paton to NAHDIC Ethiopia (January 2014) visit Ryan Waters to Embakasi, Kenya + shipments supported, NVRI Nigeria: supply of kits in the pipeline, sample shipment to WRL (funded by EuFMD) and training course for key scientist at NVRI (May 2014) Senegal: visit of ANSES and supply of kits/reagents in the pipeline Laboratories identified for global proficiency test scheme, to include 12 laboratories in the global network, laboratories from 9 non-eu EuFMD member states and laboratories from 15 countries in the European neighbourhood.

6 Issues for Executive Committee attention Training, supervision, and sustained sample collection and sample shipment from pools 4 and 5 Establish a closer working relationship through teleconferences and/or webinars with the European NRLs for global surveillance group

7 Identifying European partners and existing contacts ANSES Senegal, Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Mali, Mauretania CODA-CERVA Nigeria IZSLER Libya Lindholm Uganda and Kenya WRL: Pirbright Nigeria, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Egypt, others to varying extents

8 Priorities for the next 6 months Inviting 12 laboratories in the global network, 9 NRLs of non-eu EuFMD member states and 15 NRLs of countries in the European neighbourhood to participate in the global proficiency test scheme (management of WRL) Developing MoU s for regional support labs in pools 4 and 5 (management EuFMD with feedback from WRL) Training, supervision, sample collection and sample shipment from pools 4 and 5 (management of WRL) Harmonisation and improvement of communication with network labs (management WRL) Establish a closer working relationship through teleconferences and/or webinars with the European NRLs for global surveillance group

9 OIE/FAO FMD Lab Network Priorities Continue core activities (analysis, data-exchange, training, provision of expertise and capacity building) Obtain and analyse samples into the network from undersampled endemic pools (particularly West Africa) With assistance from OIE and FAO Harmonize approaches used for vaccine matching WRLFMD to prepare (and prioritise) a list of vaccine antigens for each endemic virus pool To identify who has antigens and antisera available for members of the Network Plan PT for network partners Annual meeting for 2014 (Italy? Nov or Dec 2014)
