The data and information collated in reports resulting from a range of preparatory activities have been used for the design of the coordinated surveillance system under the One Health approach.
Briefly, experts contracted under EFSA's Independent Scientific Advice scheme have prepared an overview of the different animal species that can be infected with the selected infectious zoonotic pathogens and collated scientific evidence for the disease and surveillance cards.
The Enetwild consortium has carried out literature reviews on worldwide surveillance systems targeting transboundary zoonotic and emerging diseases within the holistic One‐Health perspective (Enetwild consortium et al., 2022a (link)), and on the main existing structures and systematic/academic initiatives for surveillance in the EU for zoonoses in the environment and the methods for surveillance of pathogens in the environment (Enetwild consortium et al., 2022b (link)), which were consulted by the Working Group (WG) during the assessment process.
The description of the main existing structures and systematic initiatives and academic activities for surveillance in the EU for transboundary, emerging and re‐emerging zoonoses in domestic animals and wildlife (Enetwild consortium et al., 2022c (link)) has been considered by the WG experts in their assessment of the feasibility of different possible surveillance options.
The information presented by the Enetwild consortium on endangered wildlife hosts in Europe for selected pathogens to be targeted by One Health surveillance (Enetwild consortium et al., 2022d) and the recommendations and technical specifications for sustainable surveillance of zoonotic pathogens where wildlife is implicated (Enetwild consortium et al., 2023 (link)) have been used for developing the proposals of surveillance options targeting wildlife species.
Data and information on vectors and vector surveillance developed under the VectorNet project (ECDC, 2014 (link); ECDC and EFSA, 2018) have been used by the WG experts for the development of proposals of surveillance options targeting mosquitos and ticks.
