Overview of FMD Control in Thailand
Department of Livestock Development (DLD) developed national control plan and has worked together with neighboring countries through SEAFMD and later SEACFMD campaign since the early 1990s .
FMD is regarded as one of the most important transboundaryanimal disease to control and eradicate in ASEAN.
DLD has imposed policy to progressively control FMD through application of the Progressive Control Pathway (PCP).
DLD complies the SEACFMD Roadmap as strategy and goal for regional FMD eradication in 2020.

Implementation tools for FMD control
Legislation – The Animal Epidemics Act B.E.2499 (1956) and its revision B.E.2542 (1999)
National Plan• Strategic Plan comprising 8 components (Resource
management, law amendment, disease surveillance and control, livestock sector development, public relation, research and technology development, international collaboration, monitoring and evaluation)
• Action plans• Preparedness in normal state• Outbreak response

5
Stage PCP requirement Examples of DLD attempt
0 to 1 Comprehensive study of FMD epidemiology planned
Set up and run the passive surveillance (reporting system and outbreak investigation).
1 to 2 Risk-based FMD control plan Initiated FMD national control plan, vaccination campaign, active sero-surveillance and animal movement database.
2 to 3 Develop aggressive strategy to eliminate FMD
Developed national strategic plan to eradicate FMD.
3 to 4 No endemic FMD in domestic livestock
Established FMD free zone for livestock region 2 and detected virus circulation in the free zone using "freedom from disease" surveillance. Study on risk assessment of FMD introduction into the free zone. Apply for OIE-endorsement for national FMD plan.
4 to 5 Apply for official status (OIE): free with vaccination
Apply for official status (OIE): free with vaccination and set up model of the establishment of FMD free zone in other areas.
Free without vaccination
Apply for official status (OIE): free without vaccination
