The purpose of the Network of WOAH/FAO FMD Reference Laboratoriesis to make available accurate and timely data to support global surveillance and control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease:

The goals of the Network are:

  1. Understanding global Foot-and-mouth disease virus distribution and patterns in order to identify threats and make vaccine recommendations
  2. Improving the quality of laboratory tests from international and national reference laboratories
  3. Building up local capability in support of regional control programmes

This Network arose from a meeting of the OIE ad hoc group of Antigen and Vaccine Banks (in Paris 2004) where it was decided to generate two forums to coordinate international activities: a vaccine bank network (now the IVSRN), and this Foot-and-Mouth Disease Reference Laboratory Network.
