One of the greatest challenges facing Japanese animal health administration is to further improve the national surveillance system. Due to elevated risk of animal disease occurrence and spread, decreasing human and financial resources, as well as changing livestock industry, it is an urgent priority to revise the current surveillance system in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
Since knowledge of surveillance in other countries can be resourceful in designing new surveillance system, my colleagues and I made an on-site visit to US regulatory agencies and collected relevant information. This report is to provide for an overview of US animal health surveillance system with focus on bovine tuberculosis and bovine brucellosis, both of which Japan is aiming to achieve and declare the disease freedom based on the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code.
