AB Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is recognized as an animal and zoonotic disease with extreme economic and public health consequences. Currently, BSE has been detected in 23 countries distributed across Asia, Europe, North America and the Middle East. To date, Russia has not reported any BSE cases in its own territory. Qualitative risk assessment has indicated that if BSE occurred in Russia, the economic consequences would be devastating for Russian agriculture and its economy. The Russian veterinary authorities acted much earlier compared to some other countries to protect domestic herds from BSE. A number of preventive strategies and control measures to decrease the likelihood of the introduction and establishment of BSE in Russia included: prohibitions on live animals and beef products imports from BSE and scrapie affected countries; prohibitions on use and import of contaminated feed; introduction of the adequate processing of animal waste; an on-going surveillance program for BSE; and increased education/training efforts. However, analysis of the extensive experience from Europe and North America show that the absence of BSE cannot be ensured by such BSE prevention and detection efforts alone. The purpose of our study was to identify the potential BSE risk factors and risk sources in Russia and review risk management strategies taken by veterinary authorities that reduced the probability of BSE occurring in Russian livestock. Evidence-based recommendations focus on actions to strengthen measures shown to prevent the introduction and spread of the disease.
