Recommendations and technical specifications for sustainable surveillance of zoonotic pathogens where wildlife is implicated

A science-based participatory process guided by EFSA identified 10 priority zoonotic pathogens for future One Health surveillance in Europe: highly pathogenic avian influenza, swine West Nile disease, tick-borne-encephalitis, echinococcosis, Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic Fever, hepatitis E, Lyme Q-fever, Rift Valley fever. The main aim of this report is to formulate recommendations and technical specifications sustainable coordinated health early detection these where wildlife implicated. For purpose: (i) first, we reviewed the cornerstones integrated monitoring that are applicable disease under OH EU; (ii) analysed characteristics groups selected relevant aimed at detection, with other compartments; (iii) proposed general first steps EU, (iv) specific risk based wild species groups. We finally a framework integrating animal components (wildlife, domestic, environment) approach.
