Editor's Notes
- Continuing virus destruction and sequestration efforts – this includes continuing efforts on the part of the expertise from the JAC where funds are needed to hold the meetings of the experts, as well as missions for assistance in the destruction of the material and laboratory clean up, or in the transfer of material. Furthermore these efforts can also include the evaluation and assessment of facilities that are already rinderpest holding facilities or those that wish to become one on behalf of the international community. Outreach and education – despite the disease being eradicated there is still a need to keep up education around the clinical signs of the disease – especially given the nature and the appearance of lesions that can be similar to FMD and peste des petits ruminants. Furthermore, an update to the rinderpest eradication video is helpful taking into consideration the efforts that can be undertaken at the laboratory level to destroy or sequester the existing material, along with examples of the clinical signs of the disease. This type of outreach and education can be distributed in a variety of means in any event, it would be helpful in ensuring rinderpest remains a part the outreach. Diagnostic tool - a diagnostic tool is ready to be developed by the Plum Island facility – the OIE and the FAO have received recommendations from the JAC to approve the project. Once developed the management and the deployment of the diagnostic tool would be required as a rapid detection method.
