LSD Situation, Surveillance and Control Activities in TURKEY

LSD Outbreaks (2014)

Some vaccinated animal was sick after vaccination ;

Animals in the incubation period of disease

Biological properties (Lactation, pregnancy, weak body condition) are very effect to occur the

LSD; Predispose factors

The intencity of the outbreaks in region is an other factor.

Subcilinical infected animals (after the quarantina period (30 days) the animals are allowed to move

movement from the outbreaks areas).

Subclinical infected animals were infect new provinces.

Kurban festival is a potential risk for spread of the LSD to distant locations. Control measures should

be increased in periods such as Kurban festival

Climatic changes and geografical status;

long summers

late coming winter

warmer winter

windy weather (sand storm)

wetlands

altitude

Observations & Evaluations of 2014

Situation & Activities (in 2015)

All provinces in Turkey were included in the vaccination campaign. Start of

Vaccination campaign was determined by each local authority (because of differences

between their climate conditions, geographical status and husbandry system)

Vaccine dose was increased to 3 times doses sheep and goat pox vaccine (Penpox-M)

Vaccination campaign was planned for all cattle populations (older than 3 months

and under 9 months pregnant)

Compensation rate of 2015 was raised from %50 to % 100.

After the vaccination campaign was completed, the animal movement was allowed.

Vaccination control became mandatory prior to animal movement.

Clinical symptom after vaccination

! ! ! No Side Effects ( anaflaxia,

abortion, local reaction)

Field Observations in Turkey

In winter 2014 also 2015, outbreaks was continued slightly.

Outbreaks were seen close or far from water sources.

LSD outbreaks also occurred at all heights varying between 50m to 1300m by

difference in Turkey.

This could be evidence that LSDV can be transmitted by other vector or by other

ways which can survive in the environment for a long time or different conditions

or different vector???

12

Experiences

Vaccination most important measure

Rate of vaccination (80-90%) and vaccination time (BEFORE VECTORAL

ACTİVİTY)

Clinical survey must be done periodically.

Early detection and confimation, culled and other control measures should be applied

very quickly.

Control of animal movement very important especially for subclinical infected and

infected in incubation period animals.

Vector control??
