Prevention and control of animal diseases worldwide
Part I: Economic analysis: prevention versus outbreak costs, Annex 5
Notes:
(a) Dependent on density of poultry popuplation, production system (intensive or extensive), weather conditions, presence of wild reservoirs and other natural risk factors.
Also, veterinary preparedness (surveillance levels, early detection, application of movement controls and other control measures etc.)
(b) Country classification based on A40 (Global Strategy for Progressive Control of HPAI), A42 (AI Control and Eradication: FAO proposal for a global programme) and current status (OIE, WAHID).
As at Nov 2005, the strategy was focussed on 3 groups of countries:
1) H5N1 infected countries (SE Asia: Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam; Mongolia, Kazakshtan, Russia, Turkey and Romania)
2) Non-infected at immediate risk countries - includes those free of infection after having stamped out HPAI (DPR Korea, Malaysia, and Rep of Korea)
and those never infected (SE Asia: Brunei, Myanmar, Singapore and Philippines; S. Asia: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka)
3) Non-infected new countries at risk: includes the other regions of the world
(c) Includes culling (value of culled animals and culling/disposal) and control costs - excludes 'other direct production' or 'consequential' losses.
(d) Depends on period of non-activity during a moratorium on re-stocking
Excludes upstream/downstream sectors (poultry feed, processors, vet medicines etc.)
(e) Total net impact. Depends on impact of outbreak on consumer demand and price levels and proprotion of producers/production affected; some unaffected producers may actually gain from higher prices.
Also, depends on the point of return to pre-outbreak levels after the end of the crisis - duration is therefore the total number of months with no/reduced activity.
It is possible that some business will exit from the sector while others will expand (as has been the case in practice).
Assumes, however, than in net macro-economic terms supply will resume at pre-outbreak levels.
(f) Total net impact. Same assumptions apply as for domestic trade. Some countries may gain from increased exports (of poultry or substitute meats) and/or higher prices.
(g) Costs to the economic sectors of tourism/travel only covered here. Other economic sectors (e.g. services) excluded.
(h) Economic impact based on public health effects of a pandemic influenza. Source of baseline (global): US economic impact (A5). Range assumes a 15% to 35% attack rate.
