Animal Disease Notification System

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Animal Disease Notification System (ADNS) is a system for recording outbreaks of animal diseases . The ADNS provides the veterinary authorities with up-to-date data and enables them to react quickly to changes in the epizootiological situation with stricter protective and control measures. On the other hand, it offers the possibility of abolishing unnecessary restrictions in the individual countries.

OIE

The World Organization for Animal Health ( Office International des Epizooties , OIE) operates an Animal Disease Notification System as part of its early warning system in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization . It is used to track animal diseases and zoonoses and provides trend information on the individual animal diseases.

European Union

The basis for the creation of the ADNS in the European Union is the Commission decision 2002/99 / EC of December 16, 2002 and the EU regulation 82/894 / EEC of December 21, 1982, which also regulates the animal diseases to be reported. The full functionality has existed since 1985. The ADNS has been operated by the Directorate for Health and Consumer Protection of the European Commission since 1985.

All member states as well as Andorra, Norway and Switzerland take part in it. Since all states are also members of the OIE, the data is also forwarded to the worldwide ADNS. The EU's ADNS provides a weekly report on current animal disease outbreaks to the veterinary authorities of the participating countries. For each animal disease, the affected region, the number of animals affected, the date of the outbreak, the measures taken and the origin of the outbreak are communicated. The statistics are made available on the Internet.
