Basic biosecurity standards for the prevention of avian influenza

Salmonellosis is a disease of humans and animals caused by microorganisms of the Salmonella genus belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. This family is composed of many serotypes. Not all serotypes are important in animal health, as some do not cause disease in animals. However, they are important in public health because they are the cause of one of the main foodborne illnesses.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family in the Avulavirus genus. There are ten avian paramyxovirus serotypes designated APMV-1 to APMV-10, and the Newcastle disease virus has been designated APMV-1.

Avian influenza (AI) is a highly contagious and extremely variable infection of poultry and wild birds, the latter acting as a natural reservoir. Disease can range from moderate to severe, but only the H5 or H7 subtypes cause Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), the most severe strain. These are extremely contagious and virulent strains, causing high mortality in poultry.

Avian influenza (bird flu) is a disease caused by a virus that can affect most birds, both domestic and wild. This virus can also cause illness in humans. In 2003, an outbreak began in Southeast Asia and has gradually spread to other parts of that continent, as well as to Europe and Africa.

Sheep and goat pox is an infectious disease caused by a DNA virus belonging to the Capripoxvirus genus within the Poxviridae family. It produces a clinical picture in sheep and goats characterized by the appearance of fever, generalized nodules and papules, rarely vesicles, internal lesions particularly in the lungs, and, ultimately, death.

Manual for the eradication of ruminant diseases

Tuberculosis is a chronic, contagious, infectious disease that suppresses the immune system, leading to the onset of other illnesses, loss of production, and trade restrictions, including restrictions on participation in auctions and competitions. It affects all domestic animals, some wild animals, and humans, and is therefore classified as a zoonosis.

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, colloquially known as "mad cow disease") is one of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) that affects cattle. Like other TSE diseases, it is characterized by the degeneration of brain tissue, which takes on a sponge-like appearance, leading to death.

Member States are primarily responsible for the eradication of ovine and caprine brucellosis. Therefore, the main objective is to declare regions or provinces officially free of brucellosis by Community Decision if they meet the criteria established in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/689, consisting of the absence of confirmed cases of B. abortus, B. melitensis, or B.

Member States are primarily responsible for the eradication of ovine and caprine brucellosis. For a zone to be declared officially free from the disease, it must meet the following requirements: no confirmed cases of B. abortus, B. melitensis, or B.
