In today’s globalised world, infectious diseases can spread dramatically in a very short space of time. Early detection of diseases at their animal source is essential to bring them under control quickly, thus protecting both human and animal populations. To ensure transparency in the animal health field, the 180 Member Countries of the OIE have an obligation to report the animal disease situation in their territories via the OIE World Animal health Information System, WAHIS.
To provide public access to world animal health data, the OIE makes the WAHIS portal available on its website. It gives free access to data on animal diseases, including zoonoses, arranged according to country, region, month and year.
To increase the ease and speed with which this information can be accessed, the OIE has just launched the WAHIS Alerts application, which enables disease alerts (immediate notifications) and OIE follow-up reports to be sent direct to your mobile phone or tablet.
Users can choose to receive only those notifications and reports related to the regions and diseases that interest them, thus enabling them to keep up to date with the most relevant latest health news.
The application is free to download from the Android, Apple and Windows applications stores.
