The global increase in international horse movements, if not appropriately regulated and supervised by competent veterinary authorities and respective equine industry partners, could potentially lead to increased global spread of infectious equine diseases. Appropriate mitigation measures and compliance with OIE import recommendations for specific diseases can significantly reduce this risk.

The recommendations proposed under the HHP approach take into account the mitigation measures identified by this review as important factors in preventing pathogen introduction and spread.

Glanders is a contagious and life-threatening disease of horses, donkeys and mules caused by Burkholderia mallei which can be transmitted to humans. Susceptibility to glanders has been demonstrated in wild felines, camels, bears, wolves and dogs.

This brochure on glanders shows valuable images of clinical signs, post mortem lesions as well as histology and microbiological pictures. These images will serve as a useful tool to veterinarians and other interested people in understanding and diagnosing this zoonosis. It may also help to eradicate the disease from our globe.

This document demonstrates how the continuous observance of the HHP health and biosecurity practices allow for simplification of the list of diseases for which HHP horses should be certified with respect to their temporary importation for competition purposes.

The HHP risk mitigation strategies rely on four pillars:

• Biosecurity measures
• Health management practices
• Specific health requirements
• Contingency planning.

The HHP framework and associated HHP Veterinary Certificates provide a standard for the temporary movement of horses to engage in international equestrian events and Group or Grade races, and to return to their countries of origin.

This OIE HHP Handbook provides guidelines for the implementation of the HHP framework:

• Part 1 – Steps and responsibilities for the application of the HHP framework
• Part 2 – Guidelines for the implementation of the HHP framework, especially with regard to biosecurity requirements
• Part 3 – Provisions for the temporary importation of HHP horses with reference to the model HHP Veterinary Certificates
• Part 4 – Model HHP Veterinary Certificates.
