In a globalised world, accurate, complete and timely notification of the presence of animal diseases plays a crucial role in international trade. It allows countries at risk to take appropriate action to prevent the spread of transboundary diseases or minimise their impact, and thus mitigate the associated risks to animal and public health. In this context, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) is responsible for rapidly and transparently sharing accurate and complete information on the global animal health situation. To do so, it collects, verifies, validates and disseminates the animal health information provided by its Members. Information on animal diseases, including zoonoses, is notified to the OIE in compliance with legally binding instruments between the OIE and its Members. Since the creation of the OIE in 1924, the type of animal disease information to be notified and the communication channels for its subsequent distribution to Members have been standardised and improved over time, taking advantage of the available tools and methods of mass dissemination of information. The continuous improvement of the OIE disease notification process has had positive effects, both in terms of animal disease prevention, control and eradication at a global level, and by facilitating the international trade of animals, their products and by-products.
在全球化的世界中，准确、完整且及时地通报动物疾病的存在对国际贸易起着至关重要的作用。它使面临风险的国家能够采取适当行动，预防跨界疾病的传播或尽量减少其影响，从而降低对动物和公共卫生的相关风险。在此背景下，世界动物卫生组织（OIE）负责迅速、透明地分享有关全球动物卫生状况的准确和完整信息。为此，它收集、核实、验证并传播其成员提供的动物卫生信息。包括人畜共患病在内的动物疾病信息，是根据OIE与其成员之间具有法律约束力的文书通报给OIE的。自1924年OIE成立以来，随着时间的推移，利用现有的信息大规模传播工具和方法，需要通报的动物疾病信息类型及其随后分发给成员的沟通渠道已得到标准化和改进。OIE疾病通报程序的持续改进在全球层面的动物疾病预防、控制和根除方面，以及在促进动物及其产品和副产品的国际贸易方面都产生了积极影响。
