Manual / guidePreparation of Rift Valley fever (RVF) contingency plans (2003) 2002
Also available in:
Emergency preparedness and contingency planning are key elements for the early detection and control of disease outbreaks of a transboundary nature. While FAO Animal Health Manual No. 6 provides general principles regarding the setting up of emergency preparedness plans, this manula provides information on the nature of Rift Valley fever (RVF), and the principles of, and strategic options for, the prevention and control of RVF. It provides guidelines for individual countires that are threatened by RVF to formulate their overall national policy on control and eradication of a possible incursion of the disease. The manual identifies personnel as well as equipment and other facilities that are needed in a national RVF contingency plan. An outline of the suggested format and contents of a national RVF contingency plan is also provided as a guide and should be modified to suit the needs of, and circumstances that exist in, individual countries. -

No results found.RIFT VALLEY FEVER (RVF) is a zoonotic, viral, vector-borne disease representing a threat to human health, animal health and livestock production in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Near East and potentially Europe and the rest of the world. The impact of the disease on people’s livelihoods (socio-economic) and on trade (restrictions) can be high. Climatic factors are important drivers of RVF viral activity as they drive vector abundance and population dynamics, thus influencing the risk of disease emerge nce, transmission and spread. A climate-affecting phenomenon such as El Niño can have high impact on RVF.
