Guest Editor’s comments

I have just returned from Hanoi, Vietnam where I attended the GFRA meeting (Global Foot-and-Mouth Disease Research Alliance: http://www.ars.usda.gov/GFRA/). Over three days, we heard about new and exciting tools that can be used to control FMD, as well as initiatives to prioritise and coordinate research projects in different parts of the world. This important work is complemented by the OIE/FAO FMD Reference Laboratory Network, which coordinates surveillance to understand virus distribution patterns. The Network also works to harmonise laboratory diagnostic testing capabilities of FMD Reference Laboratories (for our latest annual report see: http://www.wrlfmd.org/ref_labs/ref_lab_reports/OIE-FAO%20FMD%20Ref%20Lab%20Network%20Report%202014.pdf. This year’s annual meeting of the Network will be in November and will be kindly hosted by CODA-CERVA in Brussels.

As we all know, the epidemiology of FMD is sometimes unpredictable. Over the past two years, laboratories within the OIE/FAO FMD Network have been closely monitoring the emergence and spread of the O/ME-SA/Ind2001 strain in North Africa (Libya, Tunisia and Algeria) and the Gulf States of West EurAsia (Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain). Sequence data shows that this viral lineage originates from the Indian sub-continent, although the precise transmission routes by which the virus has “escaped” the regions where it normally circulates are not well understood. From a positive perspective, no new FMD outbreaks due to this lineage have been reported since the cases in Algeria earlier this year (in March and April). Although threats to Southern Europe due to this lineage appear now to be subsiding, continued vigilance in these regions is essential to ensure that any new cases are quickly identified. In another related development, recent clinical samples sent to the WRLFMD from cattle in Saudi Arabia have been characterised as serotype A, most closely related to FMD viruses from India [NB: these are “hot off the press” reports and not included in this report, but further details are described on ProMed (http://www.promedmail.org: Archive Number: 20151019.3727949)]. These new cases further substantiate the epidemiological links between countries in the Indian sub-continent and the Gulf States, and raise questions regarding the performance of vaccines that are currently deployed into countries in endemic Pool 3 (West EurAsia).

Elsewhere, serotype Asia-1 has been recently detected (at RRLSEA Pakchong, Thailand) by antigen-ELISA in samples collected in Cambodia [based on new data presented at the GFRA meeting last week]. These are the first reports due to this serotype in Southeast Asia since last cases in 2006 for samples collected from Vietnam. Sequence analysis for these latest samples is pending, but this will hopefully reveal links to previous FMD cases due to the serotype in the SEA region.

I. GENERAL OVERVIEW Pools represent independently circulating and evolving FMDV genotypes; within the pools, cycles of emergence and

spread occur that usually affect multiple countries in the region. In the absence of specific reports, it should be assumed that the serotypes indicated below are continuously circulating in parts of the pool area and would be

detected if sufficient surveillance was in place (Table 1).

III. DETAILED POOL ANALYSIS

A. POOL 1 – SOUTHEAST ASIA/CENTRAL ASIA/EAST ASIA Laos PDR 1 The laboratory-isolated strain from a bovine clinical specimen collected in March 2015 in Attapea, Laos was genotyped by the WRLFMD as A/ASIA/Sea-97. Most closely related field virus to this isolate is A/TAI/17/2014 with a sequence identity (seq. id.) of 99.84% while most closely related reference virus is A/TAI/7/2003 (HQ116312) with a seq. id of 93.71%. Previous diagnosis of the same genotype was carried out in cattle samples collected during 2014, while last outbreaks that occurred in the country were reported in May 2015, two of which were identified as being caused by FMDV serotype O, while the other outbreak was not sampled. Further details of the results of serotyping, genotyping and of VMSD tests conducted by the WRLFMD, cited within this report, will be given in the forthcoming WRLFMD Quarterly Report (July - September, 2015). Myanmar 2

Two new FMD outbreaks were reported by the Southeast Asia and Mouth Disease Campaign to have occurred in two villages of Mandalay, Mynamar in which cattle were involved. Summary of animals involved is reported in Table 2, while location of ongoing (five) outbreaks is presented in Map 2. The National Laboratory carried out the diagnosis using ELISA and FMDV serotype O was found responsible for both outbreaks. Current control measures are: movement control inside the country, vaccination in response to the outbreaks, disinfection of infected premises/establishments and quarantine. Both outbreaks are already reported as resolved. Table 2: summary of the number of cattle involved in the FMD outbreaks reported in August 2015 in Mandalay, Mynamar.

Russian Federation 10 During September 2015, the Russian Research Institute for Animal Health (FGBI-ARRIAH) examined 2,293 sera for the presence of FMD antibodies for post-vaccination monitoring purposes. Other ongoing activities reported by the laboratory are studies on the immunobiological properties of FMDV serotype O and the provision of support in the form of materials and advice respectively to the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and to the Veterinary services of the Russian Federation Subjects. Last reports of diagnosis of FMDV in Russian Federation were in March 2015 and genotyping of the referred strains identified these as FMDV serotypes A/Sea-97 and O/Mya-98. Thailand 1 Sixteen samples collected in Thailand during 2014 and 2015 from cattle and water buffaloes were genotyped by the WRLFMD as FMDV serotype A/ASIA/Sea-97. Other eight samples, all collected from cattle of the same country during the same period were genotyped as O/SEA/Mya-98. Summary of genotyping results are reported in Table 3. Table 3: Summary of genotyping results of samples positive for serotypes A and O, collected from cattle and buffaloes in Thailand, during 2013 and 2014.

Vietnam 1 Swine (1) and bovine (2) samples collected in Vietnam during 2015 were genotyped by the WRLFMD as A/ASIA/Sea-97 while another bovine sample collected in 2015 was identified as O/SEA/Mya-98. Summary of genotyping results are reported in Table 4. Table 4: Summary of genotyping results of samples positive for FMDV serotypes A and 0, collected from cattle and pigs in Vietnam during 2015.

C. POOL 3 – West Eurasia & Middle East

Pakistan 3 Number of outbreaks in Pakistan reported within the Progressive Control of Foot and Mouth Disease Project are still on the increase to the previous month with a total number of 185 FMD outbreaks that occurred during September 2015. The outbreaks were caused by serotypes A, Asia 1 and O with the latter being the most prevalent as was reported for outbreaks occurring in August 2015. In 41 of the total episodes, more than one serotype was involved. The province of Sindh was the one to register to the highest number of FMD episodes (159) with the circulation of all of the abovementioned serotypes. A summary of the FMD outbreaks in Pakistan occurring in September 2015 is reported in Table 9. Table 9: summary of the outbreaks reported in Pakistan during September 2015

Vaccination within the Project against FMD was carried out on 65,249 animals applying different strategies and in different production systems and a summary of these activities is reported in Table 10.

Ethiopia 5 The NAHDIC, Ethiopia, examined 11 sera and 14 tissue samples respectively using the following FMD ELISAs, the NS 3ABC antibody and FMDV antigen detection tests. The samples were collected from cattle in an FMD outbreak in which serotype SAT 2 was detected. Further to this, 1,075 sera collected from small ruminant from different parts of the country for FMD surveillance purposes were also examined by FMD NS 3ABC ELISA and 131 samples give a positive result for FMDV antibodies. The laboratory has received 8 FMD kits from FAO – Ethiopia through the PPR share project. During September, NAHDIC was involved in the investigation of the above-mentioned FMD field outbreak, in the provision of expert advice to Government, national/local authorities or to other services and in research studies and collaborations with international organisations. NAHDIC has finalized the FMD OIE twining project agreement with WRLFMD, Pirbright that will start in January 2016. Kenya 6 The Foot-and-Mouth Disease Laboratory, Embakasi, Kenya detected FMDV serotypes A, in two samples and SAT 1, in three samples among the nine bovine samples using FMD Ag detection ELISA and/or RT-PCR. The laboratory is continuing post-vaccination monitoring and is actively involved in the investigation of FMD outbreaks in the field.

Angola 9

The FMD outbreak that occurred on the 15th of August 2015, in a cattle herd in Cunene, Angola was confirmed by the Central Veterinary Laboratory of Namibia (Regional Reference Laboratory) as caused by FMDV SAT 2. Control measures are still in place and are as following: quarantine, movement control inside the country, traceability screening, zoning, official destruction of animal products, disinfection, surveillance within and outside containment and/or protection zone and modified stamping out. No treatment is being administered to sick animals, and vaccination was adopted in response to the outbreak. Botswana 9 Relative to the series of FMD outbreaks caused by FMDV SAT 2, reported for the first time in March 2015 in zone 2E of Ngamiland, Botswana, last recorded outbreak was in April 2015, i.e. 10 FMD incubation periods away since the last case of FMD was detected. The extension area has been vaccinated three times as reported in Table 14 and the last round was completed on 20th of August 2015. No clinical signs consistent with FMD were detected during the clinical surveillance carried out during this third round of vaccination. Vaccination, movement restrictions, bio-security/disinfection, active surveillance and herd management were effective in the control of the disease. The event is considered closed and no other reports will be submitted.

Another episode of FMD also caused by FMDV SAT 2, that started in June 2015, in cattle in Chobe, Botswana was declared resolved. The last case was on the 3rd of July 2015 in the only previously affected kraal. Two rounds of vaccination consisting of primary and booster have been completed. Booster was completed on 13th of August 2015. No further cases or spread beyond the original kraal were detected during the weekly surveillance inspections conducted in all susceptible species including pigs, small ruminants and cattle. Control measures put in place including movement restrictions, vaccinations as reported in Table 15 and surveillance have controlled the disease. Next routine vaccination is due in October 2015.

Malawi 9 An FMD outbreak occurred on the 4th of August 2015 in cattle in Shire Valley, Malawi with serotyping of virus still pending. The outbreak involved cattle in a communal grazing system near a live cattle market. The Central Veterinary Laboratory (National laboratory) has carried out the serological diagnosis of the outbreak using the 3ABC ELISA. Of the affected kraal, two animals, a cow and a calf, developed clinical signs referable to FMD. About 65 animals in five other kraals are in contact with the affected one. The population involved is under a communal grazing system. The affected kraal is in close proximity to a live cattle market. Summary of animals involved and location of outbreak are reported in Table 18 and Map 10. Control measures in place are: movement control inside the country, screening, disinfection, quarantine, surveillance within and outside containment and/or protection zone and zoning. Measures to be applied are vaccination in response to the outbreaks and traceability.

Namibia 9 Within the three FMD episodes that occurred in January, May and July 2015, in cattle, respectively in Kavango East Ohangwena and Zambezi, control measures are still being adopting even if new outbreaks have not been reported that are: movement control inside the country, vaccination in response to the outbreaks, disinfection, quarantine, surveillance within containment and/or protection zone and zoning. In Kavanga East, vaccination has been carried out in 9,923 cattle. Only the outbreak that occurred in Ohangwena was serotyped as FMDV SAT 2, while for the other two serotyping is pending. RSA 13 The ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute employed liquid-phase blocking ELISA for FMDV SAT1, SAT2 and SAT3, and NSP ELISA to respectively test 7,023 and 267 sera for the detection of FMD antibodies. The laboratory continues its involvement on research studies and collaborations with international organisations. Zimbabwe 9

Further to the first outbreak that occurred last year in April 2014, due to FMDV SAT 2, seven other outbreaks were reported to have taken place between the 20th of August and the 9th of September in cattle of Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe. Summary of the animals involved in the outbreaks and location of these are presented in Table 19 and Map 11. Weekly inspection of the affected premises and of all properties within a 20-km-radius zone is being conducted and new outbreaks are due to the local spread from infected communal dip tank areas with mixing of healthy and infected animals within the quarantined infected zone as they access watering points and grazing areas. Outbreaks in Chiredzi district are occurring in the routine vaccination areas adjacent to national parks with resident wild buffalo where cattle and wildlife share grazing and watering points, as routine FMD vaccinations in these areas are long overdue. As vaccine available in insufficient to cover all affected areas, this is being administered in a 10 km cordon area that has been created to prevent further spread of the outbreaks to the north and west of the country. Affected districts are under quarantine and no movement is allowed outside the prescribed infected areas. Limited movement is being allowed within the infected districts to access grazing areas and watering points as well as for direct slaughter at designated abattoirs under veterinary supervision. Infection is still confined inside the vaccinated containment barrier. Control measures adopted are: movement control inside the country, vaccination in response to the outbreaks as reported in Table 20, disinfection, quarantine, surveillance within and outside containment and/or protection zone, control of wildlife reservoirs and zoning.

Another FMD outbreak was reported on a cattle farm in Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe on the 24th of August 2015, with the date of start of episode reported in April 2015. The affected animals are cattle of varying age groups on a self-contained commercial farm within the Bulawayo peri-urban area. The Botswana Vaccine Institute Laboratory (OIE Reference Laboratory) is carrying out the diagnosis and serotyping is pending. Movement records show no new animals introduced into the farm and possible source of infection was a vehicle that brought feed into the farm as it had been to an infected farm. The premises were placed under quarantine and all animals present were vaccinated. Summary of animals involved and the location of the outbreak are respectively reported in Table 21 and Map 12.

The last of the series of continuing outbreaks reported in September, nine in all, which started in June 2015 and for which serotyping is still pending, were observed between the 13th of July and 3rd of August 2015 in cattle in Midlands, Zimbabwe. Infection from Gokwe South continues to spread to adjacent dip tanks in the district as well as into adjacent Gokwe North district as animals share grazing pastures and watering points, since the two districts are one continuous communal area. The two outbreaks in Kwekwe district were due to illegal long distance movement of cattle from the infected area in Gokwe South to a resettlement area in Kwekwe. Intensive movements are occurring with worsening of the drought situation in the Gokwe communal area, as people are

illegally moving animals for relief grazing either into the game park or to resettlement areas. In fact, source of the outbreaks are multiple and are represented by Illegal movement of animals, contact with infected animals at grazing/watering or contact with wild species. Summary of animals involved and the location of the outbreak are respectively reported in Table 23 and Map 13.

Map 14: FMD distribution by serotype and topotype for Southern Africa, 2011 – 2014 (EuFMD)

Swaziland and Lesotho are free from FMD without vaccination. There is a zone in both Botswana and Namibia, which has been FMD free without vaccination, since 2010 and 1997 respectively.

Conjectured circulating FMDV lineages in pool 6 per 2014 15:

Serotype SAT 1 (topotypes I, II and III) Serotype SAT 2 (topotypes I, II and III) Serotype SAT 3 (topotypes I, II and III)

G. POOL 7 – South America

South America 9, 14 The OIE FMD status of the countries in South America as reported in April 2015 is presented in Map 15. Most South American countries are FMD free with vaccination (Uruguay) or without vaccination (Chile, Guyana) or with free zones with vaccination (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and continental Ecuador) or without vaccination (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru) as described by the OIE maps (see: http://www.oie.int/en/animal-health-in-the-world/official-disease-status/fmd/en-fmd-carte/). Small areas of the continent may still be considered as endemic but clinical cases are rare (Map 15). The FMD history between 2012 –2014 is given in Table 25.

IV. OTHER NEWS: 1The WRLFMD Quarterly Report July – September 2015 published the following table (Table 26) that contains a list of FMDV strains for FMD-Free countries antigen banks. The discussion of this table is within the report. The WRLFMD is at present working to adopt a risk-based approach for identifying FMDV lineages and relate these to priority vaccines for use in Europe and other FMD-free settings. Table 26: Recommendations by the WRLFMD® on FMD virus strains to be included in FMDV antigen banks (for FMD -free countries) – September 2015 Note: Virus strains are NOT listed in order of importance
