Interagency roadmap for Neglected Zoonotic Diseases and VPH
2015
2020
Reduce the burden of
human rabies
transmitted by dogs
Elimination in Latin America and
reduction of rabies incidence in
SEAR and some WPR countries
Reduce the burden of
FBT including
facioliasis
- Inclusion of FBTs in
mainstream PC strategy
- Control of animal infections
and reduce human fascioliasis
- provide necessary VPH
support
- In Thailand reduce human
infection to less than 5%
Reduce the burden of
zoonotic
Trypanosomiasis
Control of zoonotic
trypanosomiasis incidence in
selected AFR countries
Capacity building:
-Improved training in use to essential biologicals (e.g human
rabies for PEP and oral vaccines for dogs, echinococcosis &
cysticercosis vaccines)
-in campaign planning, implementation, monitoring and
evaluation
-dog population management
- Expand and improved NZD diagnostic capacity and
surveillance systems in human and animals
-strengthen or consolidate intersectoral/ministerial collaboration
-establish or strengthen VPH services
- strengthen veterinary services and competencies for VPH
Elimination in SEAR and
some WPR countries and
ensuring sustainability
Critical assumptions
 Availability of potential donor/sponsor
 Ensure sustainability
 Commitment from countries
and ROs
Elimination in Uganda and
ensuring sustainability
TRA and ONCHO plan available
(PVS)
-all major neglected zoonotic diseases are reported/notified in
humans and animals
Epidemiological and
economical
knowledge
Implementation
research and scaling up
interventions
- Validated global or regional burden estimates available for
major neglected zoonotic diseases (NZDs)
- Mapping of overlapping NZDs and NTDs in Africa and Asia
- Mapping of areas of co-endemicity cysticercosis and schisto
and Fish BT
- Costs of NZDs intervention strategies, cost-benefit and costeffectiveness
Validated strategy for control
Scale up intervention in
and elimination of T solium
selected countries for
taeniasis/cysticercosis

control and elimination
Validated strategy for control
and elimination of cystic
echinococcosis/hydatidosis
Scale up intervention in
selected countries for

Adequate availability of PZQ
Adherence of international donors,
partners and TRA & ONCHO
constituencies to strategic PC plan
Availability of adequate resources
