Listed diseasemaladie répertoriée
A listed disease is a transmissible animal disease included in the list in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 on animal health, and classed in one of categories A to E by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1882.
Regulation (EU) 2016/429 lists the diseases concerned in Article 5(1). The prevention and control rules attached to each category have applied since 21 April 2021, under Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1882.
That implementing regulation sorts listed diseases into five categories. Category A covers diseases usually absent from the Union, which call for immediate eradication on detection. Category B covers diseases that all member states must eradicate. Category C covers diseases that must be kept from spreading to officially free areas or areas with an eradication programme. Category D covers diseases whose spread must be prevented on entry into the Union or between member states. Category E covers diseases that need surveillance within the Union.
A single disease can belong to several categories. The annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1882 classes foot-and-mouth disease as A, D and E. In France, official sanitary police operations are entrusted to vets: see sanitary vet and mandated veterinarian.
