abstract: The initial draft of this document was prepared in June 1993 by the Ad hoc Group on Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia Surveillance Systems of the Office International des Epizooties. That draft was then amended in February 1997 by the Group of experts convened at the request of the International Committee to examine issues relating to the surveillance of the disease, with particular reference to the effects of vaccination programmes on surveillance systems. This updated report includes the following: epidemiological and other factors which influence the choice of surveillance systems. Sampling and surveillance strategies. Diagnostic methods applicable to surveillance systems. The repercussions of vaccination on surveillance systems.
