Animal Health Information System
The National Animal Health Information System - SIZ is managed by the Coordination of Information and Epidemiology - CIEP of the Animal Health Department, which is responsible for managing data and information regarding animal diseases occurrences, as well as other relevant animal health information. CIEP is in charge of Immediate Notifications and Annual and Semiannual Reports sent to the OIE, maintaining the communication on the occurrences of animal diseases in the country. The main aims of SIZ are: collecting, consolidating, analyzing and disseminating animal health information for supporting the design, application, evaluation and decision-making on strategies and actions for surveillance, prevention, control and eradication of relevant animal diseases to livestock and public health. It also supports national animal health certification to international organizations and countries or trading blocs, with which Brazil has commercial relations.
The SIZ database is based on a list of notifiable animal diseases. The notifiable animal diseases list was established by MAPA Normative Instruction nº 50, 23rd of September, 2013, and its reporting is mandatory for all those who have been aware of any suspected or confirmed cases, according to the criteria and information flows established.
The notification shall be sent to the Official Veterinary Services of the States (SVEs), the Local Veterinary Units - UVLs or community service offices, to the headquarters of the SVEs or the Federal Superintendents of Agriculture - SFAs, so that they could apply necessary measures for the control and eradication of the animal diseases. For veterinarians, researchers or teachers, who identify categories 1, 2 and 3 diseases of the List, FORM NOTIFICA may be used.
