Dear All
In my opinion, a stamping out policy for infected units with ring
vaccination is perhaps ideal. However, I am not sure that a stamping out
policy is necessary as there is no carrier state and little or no spread
via fomites. Nor is there any risk to human health. The reason for
stamping out would be to stop local spread within a village. For any
stamping out policy to be effective, there will NEED to be a properly
funded and functioning compensation scheme so that owners do not simply
more animals out of an infected village, something that is easy to do
with sheep and goats, particularly young ones. Compensation schemes have
often not been functional and/or funded.
As animals will either die or recover and have no carrier status,
stamping out may not be necessary and could be counter productive.
