L. Comtet - Emergency supply of FMD diagnostic kits: reagent banks and IDVET solutions Session: Diagnoses & diagnostic tools Open Session of the EuFMD – 2018 – Increasing Global Security in the supply of effective vaccines – 29-31 October 2018 -Borgo Egnazia, Italy Introduction Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an economically important disease of livestock. As FMD significantly constrains trade in animals and animal products, most FMD-free countries invest important resources to prevent and prepare for possible incursions. Vaccine banks have been established either at multinational or national level to enable rapid implementation of emergency vaccination in the event of an outbreak Availability of diagnostics is also crucial to the management of an outbreak, both to monitor for virus spread with non-structural (NSP) tests, or to perform post-vaccination monitoring with structural protein (SP) ELISAs. Due to financial constraints, however, some countries have reduced their contingency plans, increasing the potential impact of an FMD outbreak, or would be willing to reduce its cost. M&M IDvet offers a range of FMD NDP and SP ELISA kits. Kits and reagent banks are mainly of two types. The first type consists of reserves of quality controlled ELISA kits, ready for immediate use but with limited shelf life. The second type consists of reserves of master bank solutions with long shelf life, which may be assembled into ELISA kits as required. IDvet will present additional options for kit or reagents banks, and advantages and limits of each option will be discussed. IDvet offers up to 5 different solutions for personalized storage of kits/reagents to be shipped worldwide as kits or in a bulk format. Conclusion The rapid supply of diagnostic kits in the event of an FMD outbreak is essential to limiting the sanitary and financial impact of an outbreak. IDvet offers flexible and customized solutions to meet contingency requirements and to ensure that reagent supply is sufficient, economical, and on-time.
