Resumen

The objectives of the Programme are: a) Registration of all equine breeds in the country; b) Passive Surveillance for West Nile Fever in equidae and wild birds and other West Nile virus-sensitive animals (other West Nile virus-sensitive, domestic sarcophagus birds), as described in the Annexes and C, c) the active surveillance of West Nile Fever in equidae and wild birds, as described in Annexes B and C in order to put in place measures to safeguard Public and Animal Health. It approves the West Nile Fever (NFP) surveillance programme to equidae, domestic wild birds and other West Nile virus-sensitive animals. The technical details for implementing the Programme are set out in Annexes A, B, C and D. The Programme aims to investigate, in equidae, wild birds and other West Nile virus-sensitive animals, the circulation of West Nile Fever virus. The original purpose of the Programme was to investigate the epidemic, which occurred concurrently, in humans for the first time in the country in the summer of 2010. The implementation of the Programme continued without interruption until 2018 and aims to identify: a) the possible origin and reservoirs of the virus, in particular in wild birds; b) the geographical areas of the country that are high risk areas, the areas where the disease is likely to become endemic due to the conservation of the virus in native wild bird populations, and the areas where the virus circulates invisibly to humans or animals.
