    Rinderpest virus material remains in many facilities worldwide, risking disease resurgence. Global efforts focus on destroying or securely storing this infectious material to maintain eradication.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Science
    • Infectious Disease Eradication
    • Global Health Security

    Background:

    • Rinderpest, a devastating animal disease, was eradicated globally in 2011, similar to smallpox.
    • Potentially infectious rinderpest virus material persists in numerous research and diagnostic facilities globally.
    • The presence of this material poses a significant risk for potential disease re-emergence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the global distribution and storage status of remaining rinderpest virus material.
    • To support the commitment of World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Member Countries in managing infectious stocks.
    • To ensure continued global freedom from rinderpest through annual reporting and oversight.

    Main Methods:

  • Conducted official surveys from 2013-2015 to identify facilities holding rinderpest material.
  • Collected annual reports from OIE Member Countries on rinderpest material holdings.
  • Monitored compliance with international guidelines for destruction or secure storage of infectious stocks.

    • Main Results:

    • The initial surveys revealed that rinderpest material was stored in a large number of facilities and countries.
    • An unacceptably high number of locations were found to hold infectious rinderpest virus material.
    • This indicates a widespread challenge in consolidating and securing remaining stocks.

    Conclusions:

    • The global eradication of rinderpest is threatened by the continued dissemination of infectious virus material.
    • Enhanced international cooperation and stringent oversight are crucial for managing remaining stocks.
    • Strict adherence to annual reporting and secure storage protocols is essential to prevent rinderpest recurrence.
