Network
Several countries and groups of countries have established foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccine banks or reserves, which are mainly in the form of concentrated viral antigens stored over liquid nitrogen. Each of these organisations faces a number of similar issues over selection, manufacture, storage and regulation of vaccines, which they currently deal with independently. Therefore practical and economic benefit could be realised from collaboration between those responsible for these vaccine banks or reserves. This will be achieved through mutually acceptable mechanisms for the exchange of information and materials relevant to vaccine banks and their management and ultimately has the potential to contribute significantly to the improved control of FMD worldwide.
The EU FMD-CSF Coordination Action has progressed this Network and several reports associated with it are available in the project site.
