OIE 81st General Session: Recognition of official animal health status

This year, the Assembly has added peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and classical swine fever (CSF) to the list of diseases for which Member Countries can apply for official recognition of their disease free status.

New zones were recognised as officially free from foot and mouth disease (FMD), in Argentina, Bolivia and Peru.

The OIE endorsed the national control programme for FMD submitted by Bolivia.
