(Text with EEA relevance)^X1]

[^X1THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1) , and in particular Articles 17(2)(b) and 17(3)(a), the first subparagraph of Article 17(3)(c), the fourth indent of Article 18(1) and Article 19 thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (2) , and in particular Article 8, Article 9(2)(b) and Article 9(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (3) , and in particular the first and second subparagraphs of Article 3(1), the first subparagraph of Article 6(1), Article 7(e), Article 8, the first paragraph of Article 10 and Article 13(1) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (4) , and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (5) , and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (6) , and in particular Article 11(1) and Article 16 thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (7) , and in particular Article 48(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (8) provided for a list to be drawn up of the countries or parts thereof from which Member States are to authorise the importation of certain live animals and fresh meat of certain animals.

(2) Accordingly, Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1976 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (9) was adopted. That Decision establishes the sanitary conditions for the importation into the European Union of live animals excluding equidae, and for the importation of fresh meat of such animals, including equidae, but excluding meat preparations. Annexes I and II to that Decision also set out lists of third countries or parts thereof from which certain live animals and their fresh meat may be imported into the Union as well as models of veterinary certificates.

(3) Since the date of adoption of that Decision, a number of new animal health and public health requirements have been laid down in other Union acts, constituting a new regulatory framework in this area. Also, Directive 72/462/EEC has been repealed by Directive 2004/68/EC.

(4) Article 20 of Directive 2004/68/EC states that implementing rules on import established in accordance with Decisions adopted pursuant to Directive 72/462/EEC, inter alia Decision 79/542/EEC, shall remain in force until replaced by measures adopted under the new regulatory framework.

(5) In accordance with Article 4(3) of Directive 2004/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 repealing certain Directives concerning food hygiene and health conditions for the production and placing on the market of certain products of animal origin intended for human consumption and amending Council Directives 89/662/EEC and 92/118/EEC and Council Decision 95/408/EC (10) , once the necessary provisions on the basis of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004, (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 or Directive 2002/99/EC are adopted, the implementing rules adopted on the basis of Directive 72/462/EEC shall cease to apply.

(6) Decision 79/542/EEC has been amended several times and import provisions based on the new regulatory framework have already been introduced in Decision 79/542/EEC. For the sake of clarity and transparency the measures that are laid down in Decision 79/542/EEC should be laid down in a new legal act. This Regulation includes all the provisions of Decision 79/542/EEC. Consequently, by the entry into force of the present Regulation Decision 79/542/EEC is lapsed and thus no longer applies, pending the explicit repeal of it.

(7) Directive 92/65/EEC lays down the animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Union of live animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to the animal health requirements laid down in the specific Union acts referred to in Annex F to that Directive. Pursuant to that Directive, those live animals, semen, ova and embryos may be imported into the Union only from a third country which is on a list drawn up in accordance with the procedure referred to in that Directive. In addition, such live animals are to be accompanied by a health certificate corresponding to a specimen drawn up in accordance with the procedure referred to therein.

(8) Council Directive 96/93/EC of 17 December 1996 on the certification of animals and animal products (11) lays down the rules to be observed in issuing the certificates required by veterinary legislation to prevent misleading or fraudulent certification. It is appropriate to ensure that rules and principles at least equivalent to those laid down in that Directive are applied by the official inspectors or veterinarians of third countries. Certain third countries, which are listed in Annex II to this Regulation, have provided sufficient guarantees as to the existence and implementation of such rules and principles. It is therefore appropriate to authorise the introduction of certain live animals into the Union from those third countries, provided that no further restrictions are required by their specific disease situation.

(9) Directive 2002/99/EC lays down the animal health rules concerning the introduction into the Union of products of animal origin and products obtained therefrom intended for human consumption. Pursuant to that Directive, lists are to be drawn up of the third countries or regions of third countries from which imports of specified products of animal origin are permitted and those imports are to comply with certain veterinary certification requirements.

(10) Directive 2004/68/EC lays down the animal health requirements for the importation into and transit through the Union of certain live ungulates. The importation of those live ungulates into and their transit through the Union is authorised only from third countries and territories that appear on a list or lists drawn up in accordance with the procedure referred to in that Directive and those imports are to comply with certain veterinary certification requirements.

(11) Save the provisions of article 17(2) last subparagraph of Directive 92/65/EEC, live animals, and products of animal origin to which Directives 92/65/EEC, 2002/99/EC and 2004/68/EC apply are to be imported into or transit through the Union only if they are accompanied by a veterinary certificate and comply with the relevant requirements laid down in Union legislation.

(12) Accordingly, for the implementation of Directives 92/65/EEC, 2002/99/EC and 2004/68/EC, it is appropriate to lay down in this Regulation lists of third countries, territories and parts thereof and the specific import conditions including model veterinary certificates for certain live animals and the fresh meat of certain animals.

(13) In the interest of consistency of Union legislation, this Regulation should also take into account the public heath requirements laid down in other Union acts and in particular in Regulations (EC) Nos 852/2004, 853/2004 and 854/2004 which lay down rules concerning the hygiene of foodstuffs and food of animal origin and rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption, as well as the requirements of Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products (12) , and of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (13) .

(14) Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 lays down general rules governing the performance of official controls carried out in the areas of food and feed, animal health and animal welfare. Article 48 thereof empowers the Commission to adopt a list of third countries from which specific products may be imported into the Union. Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 provides specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption, including the establishment of lists of third countries from which imports of products of animal origin are permitted. Those rules provide that those lists may be combined with other lists drawn up for public and animal health purposes.

(15) The model certificates set out in the Annexes to this Regulation should therefore include attestations certifying that the public health requirements laid down in Directive 96/23/EC and Regulations (EC) No 999/2001, 852/2004, 853/2004 and 854/2004, are fulfilled.

(16) The model certificates set out in the Annexes to this Regulation should also include attestations certifying that animal welfare requirements laid down in Council Directive 93/119/EC of 22 December 1993 on the protection of animals at the time of slaughter and killing (14) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 of 22 December 2004 on the protection of animals during transport and related operations (15) are fulfilled.

(17) In order to ensure that the health of live animals introduced into the Union is not jeopardised during their transport from the third country of origin to the Union, certain requirements relating to the transport of live animals should be laid down, including requirements on assembly centres.

(18) In the interest of ensuring the protection of animal health in the Union, live animals should be conveyed directly to their place of destination in the Union.

(19) Fresh meat introduced into the Union for transit to another third country poses a negligible risk to public health. Such meat should, however, comply with all the relevant animal health requirements. Accordingly, specific provisions on the transit, and storage before transit, of fresh meat should therefore be laid down.

(20) Specific conditions for transit via the Union of consignments to and from Russia should be provided for owing to the geographical situation of Kaliningrad which affects only Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.

(21) Consignments of fresh meat, excluding offal and minced meat, of farmed non-domesticated animals of the order Artiodactyla, originating from animals caught in the wild should be authorised for introduction into the Union. In order to rule out any possible animal health risks which could be posed by such introduction, it is appropriate that those animals be separated from wild animals for a period of three months prior to the introduction into the Union of such consignments. Accordingly, the model veterinary certificate for those consignments (RUF) should take that into account.

(22) Commission Decision 2003/881/EC of 11 December 2003 concerning the animal health and certification conditions for imports of bees ( Apis mellifera and Bombus spp.) from certain third countries (16) lays down the animal health and certification conditions for imports of bees from certain third countries. In the interest of simplification of Union legislation, the measures laid down in that Decision should be included in this Regulation. Consequently, Decision 2003/881/EC should be repealed.

(23) It's appropriate to introduce a transitional period to allow Member States and industry to take the necessary measures to comply with the requirements laid down in this Regulation.

(24) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

PART 5 Conditions for the approval of assembly centres (referred to in Article 4)

In order to be approved, assembly centres must meet the following requirements:

They must be supervised by an official veterinarian.

II.

They must each be situated at the centre of an area of at least 20 km in diameter in which, according to official findings, there has been no case of foot-and-mouth disease for at least a period of 30 days prior to their use as approved assembly centres.

III.

They must, before each use as approved assembly centres, be cleansed and disinfected with a disinfectant officially authorised in the exporting country as effective for the control of foot-and-mouth disease.

IV.

They must have, taking into account their animal capacity:

(a)

To this end, when animals are admitted the owner or the person in charge of the centre must ensure that the animals are properly identified and accompanied by health documents or certificates for the species and categories involved.

In addition, the owner or the person in charge of the assembly centre must record on a register or in a data base, and retain for at least three years the name of the owner, the origin of the animals, the dates of entry and exit, the identification number of the animals or registration number of the herd of origin and the holding of destination, and, the registration number of the carrier and the registration number of the lorry delivering or collecting animals from that assembly centre.

VII.

All animals passing through the assembly centre must fulfil the health conditions established for the introduction of the relevant category of animal into [^F136 Great Britain^F136] .

VIII.

Animals to be introduced into [^F136 Great Britain^F136] which pass through an assembly centre must, within six days of arrival at the assembly centre, be loaded and dispatched directly to the border of the exporting country:

(a)

without coming into contact with cloven-hoofed animals other than animals which fulfil the health conditions established for the introduction of the relevant category of animal into [^F136 Great Britain^F136] ;

(b)

segregated into consignments so that no consignment contains both animals for breeding or production and animals for immediate slaughter;

(c)

in transport vehicles or containers which have first been cleansed and disinfected with a disinfectant officially authorised in the exporting country as effective for the control of foot-and-mouth disease and which are so constructed that faeces, urine, litter or fodder cannot flow or fall out during transportation.

IX.

Where the conditions for the export of animals to [^F136 Great Britain^F136] require that a test is carried out within a specified period before loading, that period must include any period of assembly, up to six days, from the date of arrival of the animals at the approved assembly centre.

The exporting third country must designate the centres which are approved for animals for breeding and production and those centres which are approved for animals for slaughter and must notify the [^F137 appropriate authority^F137] of the names and addresses of such premises. That information must be updated regularly.

XI.

The exporting third country shall determine the procedure for official supervision of approved assembly centres and shall ensure that such supervision is carried out.

XII.

The approved assembly centres must be regularly inspected by the competent authority of the third country in order to check that the requirements for approval set out in points I to XI continue to be fulfilled.

If those inspections show that those conditions are no longer complied with, the approval of the centre must be suspended. The approval may be restored only when the competent authority of the third country is satisfied that the centre fully complies with the conditions set out in points I to XI.

PART 6 Protocols for the standardisation of materials and testing procedures (referred to in Article 5)

[^F139Brucellosis ( Brucella abortus* ) (BRL)*

The serum agglutination test, complement fixation test, buffered brucella antigen test, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and fluorescence polarisation assay (FPA) shall be carried out [^F138 in a manner equivalent to the standards in^F138] Annex C to Directive 64/432/EEC.^F139]

Brucellosis (Brucella melitensis) (BRL)

Tests shall be carried out [^F138 in a manner equivalent to the standards in^F138] Annex C to Directive 91/68/EEC.

Enzootic Bovine Leukosis (EBL)

The agar gel immuno-diffusion test and the enzyme linked immuno-absorbent assay test (ELISA) shall be carried out [^F138 in a manner equivalent to the standards in^F138] paragraphs A and C of Chapter II of Annex D to Directive 64/432/EEC.

Bluetongue (BTG)

A.

The blocking or competitive ELISA test shall be carried out according to the following protocol:

The competitive ELISA using monoclonal antibody 3-17-A3 is capable of identifying antibodies to all known serotypes of bluetongue virus (BTV).

The principle of the test is the interruption of the reaction between BTV antigen and a group-specific monoclonal antibody (3-17-A3) by the addition of test serum. Antibodies to BTV present in the test serum block the reactivity of the monoclonal antibody (Mab) and result in a reduction in the expected colour development after the addition of enzyme labelled anti-mouse antibody, and chromogen/ substrate. Sera can be tested at a single dilution of 1:5 (spot test – Appendix 1) or may be titrated (serum titration – Appendix 2) to give dilution end-point. Inhibition values higher than 50 % may be regarded as positive.

Material and Reagents:

Appropriate ELISA microtitre plates.

Antigen: supplied as a cell extracted concentrate, prepared as described below, and stored at either – 20 °C or – 70 °C.

Blocking buffer: phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0,3 % BTV negative adult bovine serum, 0,1 % (v/v) Tween-20 (supplied as polyoxyethylene sorbiton monolaurate syrup) in PBS.

Monoclonal antibody: 3-17-A3 (supplied as hybridoma tissue-culture supernatant) directed against the group-specific polypeptide VP7, stored at - 20 °C or freeze-dried and diluted 1/100 with blocking buffer before use.

Conjugate: rabbit anti-mouse globulin (adsorbed and eluted) conjugated to horseradish peroxidase and kept in the dark at 4 °C.

Chromogen and substrate: Orthophenylene diamine (OPD-chromogen) at a final concentration of 0,4 mg/ml in sterile distilled water. Hydrogen peroxide (30 %w/v-substrate) 0,05 % v/v added immediately before use (5μl H ₂ O ₂ per 10 ml OPD). ( Handle OPD with care - wear rubber gloves - suspected mutagen ).

1 Molar sulphuric acid: 26,6 ml of acid added to 473,4 ml of distilled water. ( Remember Acid must be added to water, never water to acid .)

Orbital shaker.

ELISA plate reader ( the test may be read visually ).

Test format

Cc: conjugate control (no serum/ no monoclonal antibody); C++: strong positive serum control; C+: weak positive serum control; C-: negative serum control; Cm: monoclonal antibody control (no serum).

Test protocol:

Conjugate control (Cc)

Wells 1A and 1B are a blank control consisting of BTV antigen and conjugate. This may be used to blank the ELISA reader.

Mab control (Cm)

Columns 1 and 2, rows G and H are the monoclonal antibody control and contain BTV antigen, monoclonal antibody and conjugate. These wells represent maximum colour. The mean of the optical density readings from this control represents the 0 % inhibition value.

Positive control (C++, C+)

Columns 1 and 2, rows C-D-E-F. These wells contain BTV antigen, BTV strong and weak positive antiserum respectively, Mab and conjugate.

Negative control (C-)

Wells 2A and 2B are the negative controls, which contain BTV antigen, BTV negative antiserum, Mab and conjugate.

Test sera

For large-scale serological surveys and rapid screening, sera may be tested at a single dilution of 1:5 (Appendix 1). Alternatively, 10 sera may be tested over a dilution range from 1:5 to 1:640 (Appendix 2). This will give some indication of the titre of antibody in the test sera.

Procedure:

Dilute BTV antigen to pre-titrated concentration in PBS, sonicate briefly to disperse aggregated virus (if sonicator is not available, pipette vigorously) and add 50 μl to all wells of the ELISA plate. Tap sides of plate to disperse antigen.

Incubate at 37 °C for 60 minutes on an orbital shaker. Wash plates three times by flooding and emptying the wells with non-sterile PBS and blot dry on absorbent paper.

Control wells: Add 100 μl of blocking buffer to Cc wells. Add 50 ul of positive and negative control sera, at a dilution of 1:5 (10 μ l sera + 40 μl blocking buffer), to respective wells C-, C+ and C++. Add 50μl blocking buffer to Mab control wells.

Spot titration method: Add a 1:5 dilution of each test serum in blocking buffer to duplicate wells of columns 3 to 12 (10 μl sera + 40 μl blocking buffer),

Serum titration method: Prepare a two-fold dilution series of each test sample (1:5 to 1:640) in blocking buffer across eight wells of single columns 3 to 12.

Immediately after the addition of the test sera, dilute Mab 1:100 in blocking buffer and add 50 μl to all wells of the plate except for the blank control.

Incubate at 37 °C for 60 minutes on an orbital shaker. Wash three times with PBS and blot dry.

Dilute rabbit anti-mouse concentrate to 1/ 5 000 in blocking buffer and add 50 μl to all wells of the plate.

Incubate at 37 °C for 60 minutes on an orbital shaker. Wash three times with PBS and blot dry.

Thaw the O-Phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (OPD) and immediately before use add 5 μl of 30 % hydrogen peroxide to each 10 ml of OPD. Add 50 μl to all wells of the plate. Allow colour to develop for approximately 10 minutes and stop the reaction with 1 Molar sulphuric acid (50 μl per well). Colour should develop in the Mab control wells and in those wells containing sera with no antibody to BTV.

Examine and record the plates either visually or using a spectrophotometric reader.

Analysis of results:

Using the software package print out the optical density (OD) values, and the percentage inhibition (PI) for test and control sera based on the mean value recorded in the antigen control wells. The date expressed as OD and PI values are used to determine whether the test has performed within acceptable limits. The upper control limits (UCL) and lower control limits (LCL) for the Mab control (antigen plus Mab in the absence of test sera) are between OD values 0,4 and 1.4. Any plate that fails to conform to the above criteria must be rejected.

If a computer software package is not available print out the OD values using the ELISA printer. Calculate the mean OD value for the antigen control wells, which is equivalent to the 100 % value. Determine the 50 % OD value and manually calculate the positivity and negativity of each sample.

Percentage inhibition (PI) value = 100 – (OD of each test control/Mean OD of Cm) × 100.

The duplicate negative control serum wells and the duplicate blank wells must record PI values between + 25 % and – 25 %, and between + 95 % and + 105 %, respectively. Failure to be within these limits does not invalidate the plate but does suggest that background colour is developing. The strong and weak positive control sera must record PI values between + 81 % and + 100 %, and between + 51 % and + 80 %, respectively.

The diagnostic threshold for test sera is 50 % (PI 50 % or OD 50 %). Samples recording PI values >50 % are recorded negative. Samples that record PI values above and below the threshold for the duplicate wells are considered doubtful; such samples may be re-tested in the spot test and/or titration. Positive samples may also be titrated to provide an indication of the degree of positivity.

Visual reading: Positive and negative samples are easily discernible by eye; weakly positive or strong negative samples may be more difficult to interpret by eye.

Preparation of BTV ELISA antigen:

Wash 40-60 roux of confluent BHK-21 cells three times with serum-free Eagle's medium and infect with bluetongue virus serotype 1 in serum-free Eagle's medium.

Incubate at 37 °C and examine daily for cytopathic effect (CPE).

When CPE are complete in 90 % to 100 % of the cell sheet of each roux, harvest the virus by shaking any still-attached cells from the glass.

Centrifuge at 2 000 to 3 000 rpm to pellet the cells.

Discard the supernatant and re-suspend the cells in approximately 30 ml of PBS containing 1 % ‘ Sarkosyl ’ and 2 ml phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride (lysis buffer). This may cause the cells to form a gel and more lysis buffer may be added to reduce this effect. (NB: phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride is harmful - handle with extreme caution.)

Disrupt the cells for 60 seconds using an ultrasonic probe at an amplitude of 30 microns.

Centrifuge at 10 000 rpm for 10 minutes.

Store the supernatant at + 4 °C and re-suspend the remaining cell pellet in 10 to 20 ml of lysis buffer.

Sonicate and clarify, storing the supernatant at each stage, a total of three times.

10.

Pool the supernatants and centrifuge at 24 000 rpm (100,000 g) for 120 minutes at + 4 °C over a 5 ml cushion of 40 % sucrose (w/v in PBS) using 30 ml Beckmann centrifuge tubes and an SW 28 rotor.

11.

Discard the supernatant, drain the tubes thoroughly and re-suspend the pellet in PBS by sonication. Store the antigen in aliquots at – 20 °C.

Titration of BTV ELISA antigen:

Bluetongue ELISA antigen is titrated by the indirect ELISA. Twofold dilutions of antigen are titrated against a constant dilution (1/100) monoclonal antibody 3-17-A3. The protocol is as follows:

Titrate a 1:20 dilution of BTV antigen in PBS across the microtitre plate in a twofold dilution series (50 μl/well) using a multichannel pipette.

Incubate for one hour at 37 °C on an orbital shaker.

Wash plates three times with PBS.

Add 50 μl of monoclonal antibody 3-17-A3 (diluted 1/100) to each well of the microtitre plate.

Incubate for one hour at 37 °C on an orbital shaker.

Wash plates three times with PBS.

Add 50 μl of rabbit anti-mouse globulin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase, diluted to a pre-titrated optimal concentration, to each well of the microtitre plate.

Incubate for one hour at 37 °C on an orbital shaker.

Add substrate and chromogen as described previously. Stop the reaction after 10 minutes by the addition of 1 Molar sulphuric acid (50 μl/well).

In the competitive assay, the monoclonal antibody must be in excess, therefore a dilution of antigen is chosen which falls on the titration curve (not on the plateau region) which gives approximately 0,8 OD after 10 minutes.

B.

The agar gel immuno-diffusion test shall be carried out according to the following protocol:

Antigen:

Precipitating antigen is prepared in any cell culture system that supports the rapid multiplication of a reference strain of bluetongue virus. BHK or Vero cells are recommended. Antigen is present in the supernatant fluid at the end of virus growth but requires 50 to 100-fold concentration to be effective. This may be achieved by any standard protein concentration procedure; virus in the antigen may be inactivated by the addition of 0,3 % (v/v) beta-propiolactone.

Known positive control serum:

Using the international reference serum and antigen a national standard serum is produced, standardised for optimal proportion against the international reference serum, freeze-dried and used as the known control serum in each test.

Test serum

Procedure

1 % agarose prepared in borate or sodium barbitol buffer, pH 8,5 to 9,0, is poured into a petri dish to a minimum depth of 3,0 mm. A test pattern of seven moisture-free wells, each 5,0 mm in diameter, is cut in the agar. The pattern consists of one centre well and six wells arranged round it in a circle of radius 3 cm. The central well is filled with the standard antigen. Peripheral wells 2, 4 and 6 are filled with known positive serum, wells 1, 3 and 5 are filled with test sera. The system is incubated for up to 72 hours at room temperature in a closed humid chamber.

Interpretation

A test serum is positive if it forms a specific precipitin line with the antigen and forms a complete line of identity with the control serum. A test serum is negative if it does not form a specific line with the antigen and it does not bend the line of the control serum. Petri dishes must be examined against a dark background and using indirect illumination.

Epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHD)

The agar gel immuno-diffusion test shall be carried out according to the following protocol:

Antigen:

Precipitating antigen is prepared in any cell culture system that supports the rapid multiplication of the appropriate serotype(s) of epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus. BHK or Vero cells are recommended. Antigen is present in the supernatant fluid at the end of virus growth but requires 50 to 100-fold concentration to be effective. This may be achieved by any standard protein concentration procedure; virus in the antigen may be inactivated by the addition of 0,3 % (v/v) beta-propiolactone.

Known positive control serum:

Test serum

Procedure

Interpretation

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) / infectious pustular vulvo-vaginitis (IPV)

A. The serum neutralisation test shall be carried out according to the following protocol:

Serum

All sera are heat-inactivated at 56 °C for 30 minutes before use.

Procedure

The constant virus-varying serum neutralisation test on microtitre plates employs MDBK or other susceptible cells. The Colorado, Oxford or any other reference strain of the virus is used at 100 TCID50 per 0,025 ml; inactivated undiluted serum samples are mixed with an equal volume (0,025 ml) of virus suspension. The virus/serum mixtures are incubated for 24 hours at 37 °C in the microtitre plates before the MDBK cells are added. Cells are used at a concentration which forms a complete monolayer after 24 hours.

Controls

(i) virus infectivity assay, (ii) serum toxicity controls, (iii) uninoculated cell culture controls, (iv) reference antisera.

Interpretation

The results of the neutralisation test and the titre of the virus used in the test are recorded after three to six days incubation at 37 °C. Serum titres are considered negative if there is no neutralisation at a dilution of 1/2 (undiluted serum).

B. Any other test recognised in the framework of Decision 2004/558/EC (21) .

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)

A. Collecting oesophageal/pharyngeal samples and testing shall be carried out according to the following protocol:

Reagents

Prior to sampling, transport medium is prepared. Two ml volumes are dispensed in as many containers as there are animals to be sampled. The containers used must withstand freezing over solid CO ₂ or liquid nitrogen. Samples are obtained by the use of a specially-designed sputum collector or ‘probang’. To obtain a sample the probang cup is passed through the mouth, over the dorsum of the tongue and down into the upper part of the oesophagus. Attempts are made to scrape the surface epithelium of the upper oesophagus and pharynx by movements directed laterally and dorsally. The probang is then withdrawn, if possible after the animal has swallowed. The cup must be full and contain a mixture of mucus, saliva, oesophageal fluid and cellular debris. Care must be taken to ensure that each specimen contains some visible cellular material. Very rough handling which causes bleeding must be avoided. Samples from some animals may be heavily contaminated with ruminal contents. Such samples must be discarded and the mouth of the animal flushed with water, or preferably physiological saline, before repeat sampling.

Treatmentof samples:

Each sample collected in the probang cup is examined for quality and 2 ml added to an equal volume of transport medium in a container which can withstand freezing. The containers are tightly closed, sealed, disinfected and labelled. The samples are kept cool (+ 4 °C) and examined within three to four hours or placed over dry ice (- 69 °C) or liquid nitrogen and kept frozen until examined. Between animals the probang is disinfected and washed in three changes of clean water.

Testing for FMD virus:

Samples are inoculated into cultures of primary bovine thyroid cell cultures using at least three tubes per sample. Other susceptible cells such as primary bovine or porcine kidney cells can be used but it must be kept in mind that for some strains of FMD virus they are less sensitive. The tubes are incubated at 37 °C on a roller apparatus and examined daily for 48 hours for the presence of a cytopathic effect (CPE). If negative, cultures are blind passaged onto new cultures and re-examined for 48 hours. The specificity of any CPE must be confirmed.

Recommended transport media:

0,08M phosphate buffer pH 7,2 containing 0,01 % bovine serum albumin, 0,002 % phenol red and antibiotics.

Tissue culture medium (such as Eagle's MEM) containing 0,04 M Hepes buffer, 0,01 % bovine serum albumin and antibiotics, pH 7,2.

Antibiotics (per ml final) must be added to the transport medium such as penicillin 1 000 IU, neomycin sulphate100 IU, polymyxin B sulphate50 IU, mycostatin100 IU.

B. The virus neutralisation test shall be carried out according to the following protocol:

Reagents

Stock FMDV antigen is prepared in cell cultures or on cattle tongues and stored at - 70 °C or less or at - 20 °C after the addition of 50 % glycerol. This is the stock antigen. FMDV is stable under these conditions and titres vary little over a period of months.

Procedure

The test is carried out in flat-bottomed tissue culture grade microtitre plates using susceptible cells such as IB-RS-2, BHK-21 or calf kidney cells. Sera for the test are diluted 1/4 in serum-free cell culture medium with the addition of 100 IU/ml neomycin or other suitable antibiotics. Sera are inactivated at 56 °C for 30 minutes and 0.05 ml amounts are used to prepare a twofold series on microtitre plates using 0,05 ml diluting loops. Pre-titrated virus also diluted in serum-free culture medium and containing 100 TCID50/0.05 ml is then added to each well. Following incubation at 37 °C for one hour to allow neutralisation to take place, 0,05 ml of suspension cells containing 0,5 to 1.0 × 10 ⁶ cells per 1 ml in cell culture medium containing serum free of FMD antibody is added to each well and the plates are sealed. Plates are incubated at 37 °C. Monolayers are normally confluent within 24 hours. CPE is usually sufficiently advanced at 48 hours for a microscopic reading of the test. At this time a final microscopic reading may be made or the plates may be fixed and stained for macroscopic reading, for instance using 10 % formol-saline and 0,05 % methylene blue.

Controls

Controls in each test include homologous antiserum of known titre, a cell control, a serum toxicity control, a medium control, and a virus titration from which the actual amount of virus in the test is calculated.

Interpretation

Wells with evidence of CPE are considered to be infected and neutralisation titres are expressed as the reciprocal of the final dilution of serum present in the serum/virus mixtures at the 50 % end point estimated according to the Spearman-Karber method. (Karber, G., 1931, Archiv fuer Experimentelle Pathologie und Pharmokologie, 162, 480.). Tests are considered to be valid when the actual amount of virus used per well in the test is between 101,5 and 102,5 TCID50 and when the titre of the reference serum is within twofold of its expected titre, estimated from the mode of previous titrations. When the controls are outside these limits the tests are repeated. An end point titre of 1/11 or less is taken as negative.

C. The detection and quantification of antibody by ELISA shall be carried out according to the following protocol:

Reagents

Rabbit antisera to 146S antigen of seven types of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) used at a predetermined optimum concentration in carbonate/bicarbonate buffer, pH 9,6. Antigens are prepared from selected strains of virus grown on monolayers of BHK-21 cells. The unpurified supernatants are used and pretitrated according to the protocol but without serum, to give a dilution which after the addition of an equal volume of PBST (phosphate buffered saline containing 0,05 % Tween-20 and phenol red indicator) would give an optical density reading of between 1,2 and 1,5. The viruses can be used inactivated. PBST is used as a diluent. Guinea-pig antisera are prepared by inoculating guinea pigs with 146S antigen of each serotype. A predetermined optimum concentration is prepared in PBST containing 10 % normal bovine serum and 5 % normal rabbit serum. Rabbit anti-guinea-pig immunoglobulin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase is used at a predetermined optimum concentration in PBST containing 10 % normal bovine serum and 5 % normal rabbit serum. Test sera are diluted in PBST.

Procedure:

ELISA plates are coated with 50 μl of rabbit antiviral sera overnight in a humidity chamber at room temperature.

Fifty microlitres of a duplicate, twofold series of each test serum starting at 1/4 are prepared in U-bottomed multiwell plates (carrier plates). Fifty microlitres of a constant dose of antigen are added to each well and the mixtures are left overnight at 4 °C. The addition of the antigen reduces the starting serum dilution to 1/8.

The ELISA plates are washed five times with PBST.

Fifty microlitres of serum/antigen mixtures are then transferred from the carrier plates to the rabbit-serum-coated ELISA plates and incubated at 37 °C for one hour on a rotary shaker.

After washing, 50 μl of guinea-pig antiserum to the antigen used in point 4 is added to each well. The plates are incubated at 37 °C for one hour a rotary shaker.

The plates are washed and 50 μl of rabbit anti-guinea-pig immunoglobulin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase is added to each well. The plates are incubated at 37 °C for one hour on a rotary shaker.

The plates are washed and 50 μl of orthophenylene diamine containing 0,05 % H ₂ O ₂ (30 %) w/v is added to each well.

The reaction is stopped after 15 minutes with 1,25M H ₂ SO ₄ .

The plates are read spectrophotometrically at 492 nm on an ELISA reader linked to a microcomputer.

Controls

For each antigen used 40 wells contain no serum but contain antigen diluted in PBST. A duplicated twofold dilution series of homologous bovine reference antiserum. A duplicate twofold dilution series of negative bovine serum.

Interpretation

Antibody titres are expressed as the final dilution of tests serum giving 50 % of the mean OD value recorded in the virus control wells where test serum is absent. Titres in excess of 1/40 are considered positive.

Aujeszky's disease (AJD)

A. The serum neutralisation test shall be carried out according to the following protocol:

Serum

All sera are heat-inactivated at 56 °C for 30 minutes before use.

Procedure

The constant virus-varying serum neutralisation test on microtitre plates employs Vero or other sensitive cell systems. Aujeszky's disease virus is used at 100 TCID50 per 0,025 ml; inactivated undiluted serum samples are mixed with an equal volume (0,025 ml) of virus suspension. The virus/serum mixtures are incubated for two hours at 37 °C in the microtitre plates before the appropriate cells are added. Cells are used at a concentration which forms a complete monolayer after 24 hours.

Controls

(i) virus infectivity assay, (ii) serum toxicity controls, (iii) uninoculated cell culture controls, (iv) reference antisera.

Interpretation

The results of the neutralisation test and the titre of the virus used in the test are recorded after three to seven days incubation at 37 °C. Serum titres less than 1/2 (undiluted serum) are considered negative.

Transmissible gastro-enteritis (TGE)

The serum neutralisation test shall be carried out according to the following protocol:

Serum

All sera are heat-inactivated at 56 °C for 30 minutes before use.

Procedure

The constant virus-varying serum neutralisation test on microtitre plates employs A72 (dog tumour) cells or other sensitive cell systems. TGE virus is used at 100 TCID50 per 0,025 ml; inactivated undiluted serum samples are mixed with an equal volume (0,025 ml) of virus suspension. The virus/serum mixtures are incubated for 30 to 60 minutes at 37 °C in the microtitre plates before the appropriate cells are added.
