The FA is an area in which the absence of the disease under consideration has been demonstrated by meeting requirements for “surveillance to demonstrate freedom from disease/infection” as specified in Chapter 1.4 of the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code 2017.
The PVZ is consistent with the (OIE) Terrestrial Animal Health Code 2017 definition for a Protection Zone. A Protection Zone is defined by the OIE as “a zone established to protect the health status of animals in a free country or free zone, from those in a country or zone of a different animal health status, using measures based on the epidemiology of the disease under consideration to prevent spread of the causative pathogenic agent into a free country or free zone. These measures may include, but are not limited to, vaccination, movement control and an intensified degree of surveillance.
