Number of cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) reported in the United Kingdom ⁽¹⁾

(1) Cases are shown by year of restriction.

(2) In the isle of Man BSE is confirmed on the basis of a laboratory examination of tissues for the first case on a farm and thereafter by clinical signs only. However, all cases in animals born after the introduction of the feed ban have been subjected to histopathological/scrapie-associated fibrils analysis. To date, a total of 277 animals have been confirmed on clinical grounds only.

(3) In Guernsey BSE is generally confirmed on the basis of clinical signs only. To date, a total of 600 animals have been confirmed without laboratory examination.

(4) Cases prior to BSE being made notifiable are shown by year of report, apart from cases in Great Britain which are shown by year of clinical onset of disease.

(5) Data as of 6 July 2012

구제역 발생통계 산정 ‘눈가리고 아웅’

경계지역 내에서 발생한 구제역 신고는 신규발생 통계로 안잡아

지난 1일 충남 천안시 수신면에서 첫 구제역이 발생한 뒤 충남에서는 14일까지 천안과 보령, 당진 등 3개 시군에서 5건의 구제역이 발생했다.

이외에도 충남에서는 14일까지 구제역 의심신고가 26건이 접수돼 14건이 양성으로 확인되고 12건은 국립수의과학검역원의 검사가 진행중이지만 양성으로 확인된 14건은 신규발생에 포함되지 않고 있다.

왜 그럴까?

정부의 구제역 통계 지침 때문이라는 게 충남도의 설명이다.

정부는 구제역 발생과 관련해 경계지역인 10㎞ 안에서 구제역이 양성으로 확인되더라도 방역대 안에 위치해 있다는 이유로 임상증상 발현농가로 분류할 뿐 신규 발생 건수로는 잡지 말도록 하고 있다.

이러한 지침에 따라 충남에서 신고된 26건의 의심신고는 모두 위험지역인 반경 3㎞ 내에 위치해 있어 모두 양성으로 확인이 되더라도 신규발생 건수로는 잡히지 않게 된다.

하지만 이러한 구제역 발생통계는 눈가리고 아웅식이라는 비판이 나오고 있다.

충남도를 비롯한 각 자치단체는 방역대 내에서 구제역이 발생했을 경우 반경 3㎞ 안의 위험지역일 경우 추가 방역대를 설정하지 않고 있지만 3㎞에서 10㎞의 경계지역에서 발생할 경우 그 지점을 기준으로 10㎞의 경계지역을 새로 설정하기 때문이다.

현재와 같은 통계 방식에 따를 경우 3㎞에서 10㎞ 사이의 농가에서 구제역이 계속 발생해 충남 전역이 구제역 방역대로 설정되더라도 기존 발생지역에서 10㎞를 넘은 지역에서만 구제역이 발생하지만 않는다면 신규발생은 없다는 얘기다 .

이와 관련해 충남도의 한 관계자는 “양성으로 확인되는 농가 모두를 구제역 발생으로 통계를 잡을 경우 전국적으로 수천건에 달하기 때문에 이로 인해 국민들이 충격과 불안감에 떨 것을 우려해 정부가 이러한 지침을 내린 것으로 알고 있다”고 말했다.

또 “경계지역인 3㎞에서 10㎞ 사이에서 구제역이 발생할 경우 방역대를 다시 설정해야 하는데 신규발생으로는 카운트하지 않는 모순된 점이 있는 게 사실”이라고 털어놨다.
