title: Availability of vaccines against major animal diseases in the European Union.
abstract: This paper presents the results of a survey in which countries within the European Union and the European Economic Area were requested to provide information on the availability of vaccines against 47 major diseases of animals as part of the DISCONTOOLS project within the European Technology Platform for Global Animal Health. The objective of the survey was to help identify those diseases to which priority should be given by both the public and private sectors in terms of developing new tools to assist in their control. The survey also provides information on the availability of vaccines authorised at national level against the diseases concerned which may be useful in the event of a disease emergency or to enhance preparedness.
