Transmission Pathway.
Socio-economic impacts.
Registration of farms and production firms.
Identification of animals.
Departmental control.
Sampling and testing.
Vaccination program.
Animal Diseases Control

INCIDENCE OF FMD
CURRENT ANIMAL HEALTH SITUATION AND CONTROL
MEASURES AT THE NATIONAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL
No outbreaks of FMD, PPR, and LSD in Lebanon despite the Syrian
crisis
No accurate information about the health situation in the neighboring
country (Syria) due to the long military conflict
Reinforced control on transhumance movement of live animals
along common border
Vaccination all new illegally introduced animals despite the origin,
Storing of FMD data and Lab results.
Sharing information with neighboring (Syria and Jordan) and
regional countries (OIE Regional Commission for the Middle East),
and exporting countries.
Risk hot spots identified.

Perspectives and Conclusion
Lebanon fulfilled requirements for FMD PCP Pathway
stage I and continuing its surveillance plan to reach
stage II and stage III at least for 2015.
Develop a national strategy for the control and
eradication of FMD and PPR (final stage)
Develop and implement a Traceability system.
