Chapter 1.2.

Article 1.2.1.

The criteria for the inclusion of a disease in the OIE List are as follows:

Basic criteria	Parameters (at least one 'yes' answer means that the criterion has been met)
International Spread	Has international spread been proven on three or more occasions? OR Are more than three countries with populations of susceptible animals free of the disease or facing impending freedom (based on the relevant provisions of the Terrestrial Code, and in particular those contained in Chapter 1.4.)? OR Do OIE annual reports indicate that a significant number of countries with susceptible populations have reported absence of the disease for several consecutive years?
Zoonotic Potential	Has transmission to humans been proven? (with the exception of artificial circumstances) AND Is human infection associated with severe consequences? (death or prolonged illness)
Significant Spread within Naïve Populations	Does the disease exhibit significant mortality at the level of a country or a zone? OR Does the disease exhibit significant morbidity at the level of a country or a zone?
Emerging Diseases	Are there apparent zoonotic properties or is there a rapid spread?
