Prevention and control of animal diseases worldwide Part I: Economic analysis: prevention versus outbreak costs achieving disease-free status, especially if freedom is achieved without vaccination. This appears to be a persistent problem for Argentina as has been shown in previous outbreaks 100 , emphasising the importance of strict and harmonised controls at source in all the countries of the region as well as of tight border controls and cross-border trade (A160, A172, A191). Both the re-emergence of the disease in 2000 and the more recent outbreak in Argentina’s approved export zone in 2006 have been seen as warning signs that movement controls may not be adequately implemented (e.g. EU/SANCO-FVO Mission Report, A172; UK DEFRA analysis, 2006). More generally, it is argued that the continuous re-introduction of FMD into the Southern Cone countries of South America is the result of failure to sustain the continuing high levels of prevention and surveillance required to maintain FMD free status (A160, A260). For example, it appears that during the 2000-2001 FMD outbreaks in Argentina, few of the local committees previously established were still in operation 101 (A196). This is attributed both to the general economic and financial instability in the region (scarcity of funds puts pressure on governments to prioritise), and lack of institutional experience in the management of these programmes. The funds committed by both the public and private sector in South America indicate that the significant commitment during the mid 1990s was somewhat relaxed by the late 1990s, when the FMD situation was considered largely resolved and governments therefore moved funds to other high-priority areas (Figure 12). Following the extent and the spread of the outbreaks in 2000 in a large area previously considered free of FMD (Figure 11), expenditure on FMD programmes picked up again in 2001, with a significantly increased contribution by the public sector. 100 The first reported incident in 2000 by Argentina was of the virus type A in a province on the northern border with Paraguay. Further investigations linked outbreaks in two other provinces to this initial report. By the time culling and carcass disposal had been completed, the veterinary services had detected 124 infected premises, 113 of which were type A virus. In 2001, all of the 2126 officially reported outbreaks were of the type A virus. A special control zone on the northern limit of the Patagonia area prevented the disease from spreading to the south of the country. The types and prevailing strains show that the Argentine problem is the problem of the region, thus, an isolated strategy will not produce long term results (SENASA, A259) 101 These committees were established in previous outbreaks and played an important role in co-ordinating the response at national level.

AH services and institutional structures During 1990-2004, the changes initiated under the national programmes appear to have contributed significantly to the strengthening of the veterinary services in Argentina (in common with most of the other South American countries) (A160). A review of the development of Argentina’s competent authorities and structures, at national and regional level, during that period is contained in Annex 2. The relevant competent authority in Argentina is SENASA, the national service of livestock, plant health and food security, which operates under the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Since the re-emergence of the disease in 2000-2001 SENASA has been restructured, and further restructuring plans are envisaged for the near future 102 . The EU’s FVO reports that significant improvements were made in the structure and resources (trained staff and equipment) of SENASA and the other relevant bodies during 2000-2005, in successive missions 102 An EU-financed (EuropeAid) programme to support the institutional strengthening of SENASA, of an estimated value of Euro 2.9 million, was launched in late 2006. The 3 year project has 3 components: a) support for the institutional redesign of SENASA; b) strengthening the control, surveillance and certification systems for the agrifood chain as a whole; and c) improving the data processing systems particularly for the traceability, prevention and control of health risks.
