Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) No 2016/429): equine encephalomyelitis (Eastern and Western).

Abstract: Equine encephalomyelitis (Eastern and Western) has been assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on the eligibility of equine encephalomyelitis (Eastern and Western) to be listed, Article 9 for the categorisation of equine encephalomyelitis (Eastern and Western) according to disease prevention and control rules as in Annex IV, and Article 8 on the list of animal species related to equine encephalomyelitis (Eastern and Western). The assessment has been performed following a methodology composed of information collection and compilation, expert judgement on each criterion at individual and, if no consensus was reached before, also at collective level. The output is composed of the categorical answer, and for the questions where no consensus was reached, the different supporting views are reported. Details on the methodology used for this assessment are explained in a separate opinion. According to the assessment performed, equine encephalomyelitis (Eastern and Western) can be considered eligible to be listed for Union intervention as laid down in Article 5(3) of the AHL. The disease would comply with the criteria as in Section 5 of Annex IV of the AHL, for the application of the disease prevention and control rules referred to in point (e) of Article 9(1). The assessment here performed on compliance with the criteria as in Section 4 of Annex IV referred to in point (d) of Article 9(1) is inconclusive. The animal species to be listed for equine encephalomyelitis (Eastern and Western) according to Article 8(3) criteria are several species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians as susceptible species; rodents, lagomorphs and several bird species as reservoirs and at least four mosquito species (family Culicidae) as vectors.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

The research article describes an assessment of Eastern and Western equine encephalomyelitis according to the criteria established in the Animal Health Law (AHL). The research found the disease to be eligible for Union intervention under the law and identified various species that may carry the disease.

Criteria Assessment

  • The study involves an assessment of equine encephalomyelitis according to the Animal Health Law (AHL), particularly the criteria outlined in Articles 5, 7, 8 and 9. These cover disease profile and impacts, eligibility for listing, categorisation according to prevention and control rules, and animal species associated with the disease, respectively.
  • The assessment involved collection and compilation of relevant information followed by expert judgement. This judgement occurred at both individual and collective levels, with consensus being sought. Where no consensus could be reached, differing views have been noted.

Results

  • The disease was deemed eligible for listing under Article 5(3) of the AHL for Union-intervention. This means it can be considered a priority for disease prevention and control.
  • The researchers found that the disease satisfies the criteria mentioned in Section 5 of Annex IV of the AHL. These criteria pertain to applying the disease control and prevention rules indicated in Article 9(1).
  • However, the assessment regarding the criteria in Section 4 of Annex IV in Article 9(1) was deemed inconclusive.

Affected Species

  • The study identifies numerous animal species across various categories – mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians – that can potentially carry the disease. This is in accordance with the criteria in Article 8(3).
  • In terms of reservoir species, the assessment has identified rodents, lagomorphs, and several bird species. Additionally, at least four mosquito species from the Culicidae family were also identified as vectors.
