Surveillance networks

Epidemiological surveillance networks are tools used to systematically collect and analyse information on animal health in a given territory. They have become indispensable to monitor the situation of major diseases and the efficiency of control programmes, to rapidly detect the introduction of exotic or new diseases, and to provide reliable epidemiological data needed to access international markets for animal and animal products.

A questionnaire was developed within the FSP (French Priority Solidarity Fund) project “Support to the regionalization and the harmonization of epidemiosurveillance networks for animal diseases” to realize an inventory of the situation of epidemiological surveillance networks in the Caribbean.

This questionnaire is built according to two logics. The first is to draw up a detailed inventory of the structures and procedures of an epidemiosurveillance network for animal diseases. The second is to present a synthesis of the progress of the epidemiosurveillance network for its principal fields of activity, through a summary table.

The questionnaire is available for download in English and French. It has been filled by several countries and results of the evaluation can be seen by clicking on the Open button hereafter.
