Surveillance and Early Warning Systems
The UK’s vaccine strategy is supported by the APHA (Animal and Plant Health Agency), which operates a nationwide surveillance network. In 2026, this network uses "Sentinel Farm" data to track the movement of diseases in real-time.
Predictive Mapping: AI models analyze weather patterns and midge migration to predict where a Bluetongue outbreak is likely to occur, allowing the VMD to authorize "Emergency Use" vaccines in specific geographic zones before the first clinical case is even reported.
