The benefit of an adequate framework for the management of animal health emergency operations has been repeatedly shown over the years, highlighting a need to build and upgrade capabilities to effectively and efficiently manage animal health emergency operations at all levels. This need can begin to be met through the guidance provided in this manual. Equipped with practical examples, samples and guidelines, this manual supports countries and relevant local, national, regional and international organizations as they prepare for and manage operations during an animal health emergency. The manual is designed to be used in line with the 'Good Emergency Management Practice: The Essentials' manual, applying Good Emergency Management Practice (GEMP) principles and a One Health approach, and providing a global view of how to act during the peacetime and emergency phases of animal health events. This global manual is presented in such a way that veterinary services and relevel local authorities in countries around the world can use the information therein as guidance to create or adapt their own systems, and build a customized emergency operations management manual.

Animal health emergencies are evolving, but they remain among the most challenging situations a country can confront. Infectious diseases and other threats have increasing potential to spread rapidly within a country or around the world due to growing populations, concentration of animal populations and market intensification, human and animal movement, and global trade. This international GEMP Essentials guide is meant to support the advancement of key components of emergency management as countries continue efforts to work and prepare together. It sets out in a systematic way the elements required to achieve an appropriate level of preparedness and proposes an approach to animal health emergency management inclusive of all type of events, be they caused by natural phenomenon, including not infectious events, or by accidental or deliberate human action. The guide also includes the One Health approach.

The study results indicated a high prevalence (>99%) of nematode infections with the most prevalent species beingthe caecal worm Heterakis gallinarum (98.5%), followed by the roundworm Ascaridiagalli(96.2%) and the hairworms Capillaria spp. (86.1%). Capillaria spp. were composed of C. obsignata, C. caudinflataand C. bursata. It can be concluded that chickens kept in free-range systems are exposed to a higher risk of nematode infections, even if the animals are kept in a rotational system and/or in small herd sizes. However, no obvious link between high mortality rates and nematode infections could be determined. The high genetic correlation between counts of closely related worm species (e.g., A. galliand H. gallinarum) may indicate the existence of similar/same genetically determined mechanism(s) for controlling these nematodesin chickens. High heritabilities for total worm burden suggest that it is feasible to select hens for nematode resistance. Nematode egg excretion in both naturally occurring and experimental infections follows repeatable diurnal fluctuations which may indicate adaptive strategies of the nematodes to both internal and external environmental factors. Since the analytic sensitivity of egg counts suffers from low faecal egg concentrations, results from the present study suggests that faeces samples taken during daytime hours have a higher diagnostic value.
