Animal disease surveillance, especially early detection of emerging disease outbreaks worldwide, is one of the means of preventing diseases from being introduced into France. Against this backdrop, CIRAD, ANSES and the French Directorate General for Food have created a web-based automatic disease surveillance system under the national epidemiological surveillance platform for animal health. Five tropical animal diseases are currently being monitored: African swine fever, avian influenza, bluetongue disease, foot and mouth disease and Schmallenberg virus. This system retrieves textual data, extracts relevant information and reinterprets this information as maps and spatiotemporal series. Recent research conducted at CIRAD means that the results can now be weighted according to data sources. The tool, which has been developed since 2013, is reactive, interactive and precise. It supplements official sources from the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
