“…Improvements in pig rearing systems and the implementation of control measures [ 4 – 7 ] have eliminated Trichinella infection in pigs from controlled housing, and these farms now (2020) have no positive animals. In 2020, all Trichinella- positive pigs in Serbia were from backyard smallholdings with uncontrolled housing conditions ( Table 2 ).…”

Trichinella infection in Serbia from 2011 to 2020: a success story in the field of One Health

In Serbia, modern pork production systems with implemented control measures, including the detection of Trichinella larvae in meat (ISO18743), have eliminated farmed pork from pigs slaughtered at abattoirs as a source of trichinellosis. Epidemiological data from 2011 to 2020 indicate that the number of human cases and the number of infected domestic pigs has decreased significantly. Over the years, pork was the most frequent source of human infection. Cases generally occurred in small family outbreaks, and the infection was linked to consumption of raw or undercooked pork from backyard pigs. In most of the outbreaks, T. spiralis was the aetiological agent of infection, but in 2016, a large outbreak was caused by consumption of uninspected wild boar meat containing T. britovi larvae. To achieve safe pork, it is important that consumers of pork from animals raised in backyard smallholdings and of wild game meat are properly educated about the risks associated with consumption of untested meat. Laboratories conducting Trichinella testing should have a functional quality assurance system to ensure competency of analysts and that accurate and repeatable results are achieved. Regular participation in proficiency testing is needed.

“…In the case of a positive finding, information should be submitted to veterinary inspectors. According to the Serbian veterinary regulations, it is mandatory to report Trichinella findings, because of their zoonotic potential, to the national veterinary authority (Plavsic et al, 2009). All data are entered in the Animal Notification System (VetUP software application) and become available to all responsible services.…”

Background. Trichinellosis is zoonotic disease caused by parasites of the genus Trichinella, which have a cosmopolitan distribution. In the Balkan region, including Serbia, trichinellosis is endemic. Although trichinellosis shows a decreasing incidence in Serbia, this disease remains a serious problem for human health and animal husbandry. Scope and Approach. To prevent and control Trichinella spp. infections in domestic and sylvatic animals, risk analysis for these zoonotic parasites should be conducted. In Serbia, a limited number of Trichinella have been identified to the species level so far. An institutional, multi-sectoral surveillance system, supported by an adequate legal framework for the detection, surveillance, prevention, control and reporting of this infection in animals and humans, harmonised with the EU legislation, is a priority. Key Findings and Conclusions. One of the main goals of the Serbian veterinary and public health services should be progressive improvement of animal rearing practices, food safety, and hunters' and consumers' education through the "One-health" approach.

“…Infectious diseases represent a significant obstacle to pig production, and the global expansion of the swine industry has played a role in the emergence and dissemination of pathogens. The pig sector, characterized by its vast size and varying biosecurity levels, is vulnerable to transboundary animal diseases (TADs) like African swine fever (ASF), Classical swine fever (CSF), foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), with devastating economic impact (De Vos et al, 2003;Meuwissen et al, 1999;Nedić et al, 2011;Plavsic et al, 2009;VanderWaal & Deen, 2018). These diseases, facilitated by legal and illegal international trade, perpetually endanger swine health, diminishing livestock productivity and quality.…”

Tackling African Swine Fever and Highly Pathogenic Animal Diseases for Sustainable Meat Production and Food Security

The purpose of this article is to review the impact of the current international geographical distribution of African Swine Fever (ASF) and other transboundary swine diseases and their consequences. Moreover, the aim is to discuss the importance and modalities of their prevention and control, based on international standards of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE in 1924) and the Resolution on Global Control of ASF, adopted by 182 Member countries in 2019. Highly pathogenic swine diseases have multifaceted impacts on food security and rural development. These impacts are driven by factors such as reduced meat production, price volatility, trade disruptions, economic losses in rural areas, decreased livelihoods, investment uncertainty, changes in rural infrastructure, and, for some of them, potential zoonotic characteristics. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for creating effective preventive and control strategies and measures to mitigate such consequences on food security and rural development in affected regions. Scientific research and evidence-based policy measures, as promoted by WOAH, are essential to address these challenges comprehensively. Regional and international collaboration for identifying and coordinating the management of ASF is crucial for their effective prevention and control. In Europe, the WOAH plays a vital role in this mechanism, collaborating with 53 Members and partners to support the control and eradication of ASF and promote the implementation of international standards and best practices. National ASF strategies should follow these examples, with a focus on legislation enforcement and capacity building, in close collaboration with all stakeholders, to introduce effective prevention and biosecurity measures, official controls, traceability of swine commodities, wild pig management, and awareness programs. Collaboration, cooperation and learning from best practices will contribute to better tackling these challenges and ensure sustainable disease control, meat production and food security.
