Summary of activities specifically related to the mandate of
OIE Collaborating Centres
1.
Activities as a centre of research, expertise, standardisation and dissemination of
techniques within the remit of the mandate given by the OIE
NWHC


Developed a new real-time PCR with enhanced sensitivity and specificity for detecting
Geomyces destructans (white-nose syndrome) on bats and in environmental samples, and
provided early access of procedures and associated qualification data to CCWHC staff.
Collaborated with the Snaefellsnes Research Centre, University of
Iceland, Stykkishólmur, Iceland and the Reykjanes Environmental Research Institute,
Sandgerdi, Iceland, to investigate the hypothesis that migratory avian species in the North
Atlantic region could be involved in the transmission of avian influenza viruses between the
Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
CCWHC

Canada’s Response to White Nose Syndrome (WNS) in Bats: Workshop for Canadian and
US scientists to establish action plans for response and management to WNS. October 16-18
2012, Ottawa.
Development and assessment of animal welfare standards in the harvest of wild animals.
Collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Government of Newfoundland and
Labrador.

Disease Control Section, Field Center of Animal Science and Agriculture, Obihiro
University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine to learn structure and function of the
CCWHC national wildlife disease surveillance program.

centres in The Netherlands (1) and the United States (2).




Proposal or development of any procedure that will facilitate harmonisation of international
regulations applicable to the surveillance and control of animal diseases, food safety or
animal welfare

3.
Networking
a)
Maintenance of a network with other OIE Collaborating Centres designated for the same
specialty, and

2
Both Collaborating Centres are participating in establishing a structure and communication
plan between Canada and the United States for harmonization of activities to management
of White Nose Syndrome of bats.
Both Centres are maintaining their collaborative relationship as a combined OIE
Collaborating Centre for wildlife health in the Americans Region. Some key features of this
collaboration in 2012 were
o Co-instruction of the Workshop for OIE National Focal Points on Wildlife:
Surveillance and International Reporting of Diseases in Wildlife in Bulgaria and Sri
Lanka.
o Collaborations on research on avian influenza and white nose syndrome of bats.
