Heads of all SADC Central Veterinary Laboratories have been meeting for more than 10 years in order to foster collaboration and exchange of information on disease diagnostics. Since the advent of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza on the African continent, this group has been particularly active in the early detection of a possible incursion of the disease into the SADC region, which is so far free from the infection.
FAO-ECTAD has given financial and technical support to the group since 2007 by funding a second meeting per year, in addition to the annual meeting of the Sub committee. During these second meetings, Avian Influenza featured high on the agenda.
Activities such as harmonisation of SOPs for AI diagnostic tests, Proficiency Tests amongst laboratories and support to the regional service laboratory are supported by ECTAD.
