Diseases included in this Report were selected by the OIE Standards and Code Commissions from diseases notifiable to the OIE (then OIE Lists A and B diseases). These selected diseases are considered to be of importance in the region and in international trade.
In collaboration with the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, reports are also received from non-OIE members in the region.
Useful information to know the epidemiology of diseases which occurred in each country or territory and to know the distribution of such diseases in the region is also included in the OIE Quarterly Epidemiology Report and the OIE Regional Epidemiology Yearbook published by the Regional Representation.
