Grubyy Name of OIE Contact Point: Professor Vladimir V. Drygin Name of writer of this report (if different from above) Professor Anatoly M. Rakhmanov Annual reports of OIE Reference Laboratories and Collaborating Centres, 2010 1 Diagnosis and control of animal diseases in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Transcaucasia Part I: Summary of activities specifically related to the mandate of OIE Collaborating Centres 1. Activities as a centre of research, expertise, standardisation and dissemination of techniques within the remit of the mandate given by the OIE It is necessary to study and evaluate epizootic situation in the vast territory of the Russian Federation and its neighbouring countries in order to determine research trends for development of animal infectious disease control strategy and tactics. Epidemiological and serologic monitoring shall be carried out for this purpose. In 2010 epizootological and serological monitoring was aimed at: prion infections (333 samples from 15 Subjects of the Russian Federation were tested, the test results were negative) and rabies (123 brain samples from 6 Subjects of the RF were tested; in 27 samples rabies was confirmed). 9,923 bovine serum samples from 37 regions of the RF were tested for the presence of antibodies to infectious rhinotracheitis, parainfluenza-3, type 4 herpesvirus, viral diarrhea, adenovirus infection and etc. Antibodies to various agents were detected in 6,237 samples. 1,775 samples of pathological material from cattle were tested for respiratory and enteric infections caused by bovine rotavirus, herpesvirus, enterovirus, parvovirus, mycoplasmas, chlamydia and other agents. 269 samples were positive. Epizootological and serologic monitoring of porcine infectious diseases (4,000 pathological samples were tested and 90,000 ELISA tests were conducted) demonstrated the presence of such diseases as African swine fever, classical swine fever, Aujeszky’s disease, porcine influenza, PRRS, type 2 circovirus infection, porcine epidemic diarrhea, pasteurellosis, Glasser’s disease, actinobacillosis, mycoplasmosis, clostridiosis, colibacillosis and etc. Much attention was given to the serologic and epizootological monitoring of avian infectious diseases. 2,537 samples of pathological material and 436,000 serum samples from 405 poultry farms of all Subjects of the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kirghizia were examined for the presence of antibodies to avian viral disease viruses. 40 isolates of different agents were recovered. The test results confirmed the presence of antibodies to viruses of such diseases as Newcastle disease, avian influenza, adenovirus infection, infectious bronchitis, infectious laryngotracheitis, metapneumovirus infection, mycoplasmosis and etc. in poultry from the RF. Antibodies to avian influenza viruses and Newcastle disease were detected in wild birds. 87 samples of pathological material from fish farms of 12 Subjects of the Russian Federation were tested for fish viral diseases (negative results). 1,306 samples of animal products were tested, 136 (16,4%) did not comply with the requirements of the RF regulatory documents. Test results and appropriate recommendations were sent to all the farms and regions on each occasion. Specialists of the FGI “ARRIAH” were on 168 business trips to different regions of the RF including Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Mongolia in order to study the epidemic situation, provide recommendations and render assistance in the field of disease diagnosis, and plan and implement anti-epidemic measures and train veterinarians. 2. Proposal or development of any procedure that will facilitate harmonisation of international regulations applicable to the surveillance and control of animal diseases, food safety or animal welfare Development and harmonization of methods used for diagnosis and prevention of avian, bovine, porcine infectious diseases and infectious diseases of small ruminants (55 regulatory documents were approved). In order to implement up-to-date test methods into the work of the diagnostic veterinary laboratories and harmonize them with the requirements of the Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals (Mammals, birds and bees, OIE), 70 more technological normative documents on diagnosing animal diseases using PCR and 17 methodological guidelines on diagnosing avian viral diseases were included into the current “List of normative documents used in the state veterinary laboratories”. Presentation of products produced by the FGI “ARRIAH” at the exhibitions held in Moscow in 2010: - X Moscow International Salon of Innovations and Investments; - International Fund for Biotechnology; - XII Russian Agroindustrial Exhibition “The Golden Autumn”; - Biotechnological Exhibition Fair “RosBioTech-2010”; 2 Annual reports of OIE Reference Laboratories and Collaborating Centres, 2010 Diagnosis and control of animal diseases in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Transcaucasia Two golden medals, two silver medals and 4 diplomas were awarded to the FGI “ARRIAH” for the development and production. The FGI “ARRIAH” supplied diagnostic preparations and vaccines to Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Uzbekistan, Syria, Taiwan 3. Placement of expert consultants at the disposal of the OIE Leading specialists visited Azerbaijan, the Republic of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Ukraine and Syria providing consultations and rendering assistance in planning and taking anti-epidemic measures Part II: Other activities related to the mandate of OIE Collaborating Centres 4. Provision of scientific and technical training, within the remit of the mandate given by the OIE, to personnel from OIE Members Eighteen foreign delegations from 10 European, American and Asian countries visited the FGI “ARRIAH” in 2010. Forty-six specialists from the FGI “ARRIAH” visited 28 European, American, Asian countries to take part in different trainings, workshops and conferences and to conduct joint researches within current programs. Four workshops were arranged at the FGI “ARRIAH” for specialists from the RF and Belarus. They were trained in use of integrated computerized system in the activities of state veterinary services. Forty-eight specialists from 26 Subjects of the RF and 10 from Belarus were trained. Nine workshops on scientific developments, new technologies, modern equipment and other issues were carried out including three seminars in partnership with foreign companies (Germany, Israel, France) where 276 specialists were trained. 5. Organisation of scientific meetings on behalf of the OIE Practical workshop for participants of the IAEA International project from Armenia, Bulgaria, Croatia and RF in “Molecular diagnosis of avian influenza (H5N1) and evaluation of genetic markers of the virus pathogenicity and resistance” arranged by the FAO/IAEA. Participation in: - - 6. training in improvement of control of highly pathogenic avian influenza arranged by the European Commission Directorate; regional training in molecular diagnostics, genotyping and phylogenetic analysis of avian and mammalian type A influenza virus arranged by the FAO/IAEA (Seibersdorf, Austria); international matching trials “GD Ring Trials/GC Diagnostics” (Netherlands) aimed at detection of antibodies to influenza agents, Newcastle disease, Gumboro disease, bronchitis, Mycoplasma galisepticum and M. synoviae, salmonellosis in chicken sera; ring trials on avian influenza and Newcastle disease conducted at VLA, Weybridge, Great Britain (PCR, HI); evaluation of quality of laboratory tests using developed test-systems for detection of antibodies to avian metapneumovirus and reovirus in international matching trials arranged by the Laboratory R&D GD (Dutch Animal Health Service, Deventer, Netherlands) Coordination of scientific and technical studies in collaboration with other laboratories, organisations or collaborating centres Presentation at the meeting of the Intergovernmental Council for Cooperation in Veterinary Field in CIS-countries (Odessa, Ukraine, 27 October 2010) of the report of the FGI “ARRIAH” as the coordinator of activities under the “Complex of Joint Activities of CIS-Countries Aimed at Prevention of Introduction and Spread of Avian Influenza in the Territory of CIS-Countries” approved by the Council of CIS Heads of Governments of 27 May 2007. Preliminary work was done in cooperation with the Instituto Zooprofilattico Sperementale delle Venezie (Padova, Annual reports of OIE Reference Laboratories and Collaborating Centres, 2010 3 Diagnosis and control of animal diseases in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Transcaucasia Italy) so that the FGI “ARRIAH” could acquire a status of an OIE reference laboratory for avian influenza and Newcastle disease. A delegate from the Russian Federation also filed a corresponding application to the OIE. 7.
