Veterinary surveillance programmes aim to reduce the burden to the public, livestock and wider society posed by animal-related ‘risks’ (referred to as ‘threats’ later in the paper in line with a definition used by the European Food Safety Authority) including the reemergence of diseases believed absent or eradicated. To achieve this, it is important to have a systematic approach to identifying and dealing with such threats rapidly and effectively. This paper describes the transparent, systematic and auditable process used for identifying, assessing, escalating and prioritising new and re-emerging animal-related threats in the UK. This has been achieved through the establishment of a Veterinary Risk Group in late 2009.
兽医监测计划旨在减轻动物相关“风险”（根据欧洲食品安全局使用的定义，本文后面将其称为“威胁”）给公众、牲畜和更广泛社会带来的负担，这些风险包括被认为已经不存在或已被根除的疾病再次出现。为实现这一目标，采用系统方法迅速有效地识别和应对此类威胁至关重要。本文描述了用于识别、评估、上报和确定英国新出现及再次出现的动物相关威胁的透明度高、系统且可审计的过程。这是通过在2009年末成立兽医风险小组实现的。
