Over the last few years, a shift from curative towards preventive medicine has been observed in the livestock sector and represents a key element of the European Union Animal Health Strategy since 2007 (European Comission, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0018" ref-type="ref">2007</xref>). Nevertheless, several surveys highlight a low implementation level of biosecurity measures (BSM) by the farmers with different constraints expressed such as cost, usefulness, workload, and lack of clarity on the measures (Brennan & Christley, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0008" ref-type="ref">2013</xref>; Gunn, Heffernan, Hall, McLeod, & Hovi, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0024" ref-type="ref">2008</xref>; Hoe & Ruegg, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0027" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>; Kristensen & Jakobsen, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0032" ref-type="ref">2011</xref>; Nöremark, Frössling, & Lewerin, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0039" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>; Sarrazin, Cay, Laureyns, & Dewulf, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0044" ref-type="ref">2014</xref>; Sayers et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0045" ref-type="ref">2013</xref>). The rate of implementation of BSM seems even lower in cattle farms versus pig or poultry production facilities (Sarrazin et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0044" ref-type="ref">2014</xref>). To better advise cattle farmers and increase their level of implementation, it is essential to prioritize the biosecurity measures, according to the most important infectious diseases affecting or threatening Belgian cattle.</p><p>Based on the need to prioritize the infectious diseases (further referred to as diseases only) to address in terms of disease surveillance, control and eradication programs, many prioritization, or categorization exercises were conducted over the last few years. Given the lack of prevalence data for most cattle diseases, most of them followed the Delphi methodology (WHO, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0051" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>) based on: (a) the establishment of an initial list of diseases, (b) the development of a prioritization methodology translated into a questionnaire, and (c) ranking or scoring of the different diseases by a panel of experts. The Delphi method based on a consensus approach has many advantages (e.g., no need of scientific evidence as it relies on experts’ opinion which can be modified through debates and avoids personal and political influence as a consensus is needed) and is recognized by the scientific community worldwide since its development by the RAND Corporation in the late 1960's. The recent prioritization exercises identified in the literature (ANSES, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0004" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>; Ciliberti, Gavier‐Widén, Yon, Hutchings, & Artois, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0010" ref-type="ref">2015</xref>; DISCONTOOLS, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0015" ref-type="ref">2016</xref>; Havelaar et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0025" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>; Humblet et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0028" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>; McIntyre et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0035" ref-type="ref">2014</xref>) were quantitative, semiquantitative, or qualitative and based on the Delphi method with the exception of two. One of them was based on the H‐index (McIntyre et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0035" ref-type="ref">2014</xref>) and the second one on a literature review with a scoring and weighting system applied and validated by a panel of experts (Humblet et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0028" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>) (Supporting Information Table <xref rid="tbed12982-sup-0001" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1</xref>).</p><p>Nevertheless, these scoring systems rely solely on expert's opinion and results will vary depending on: initial list of diseases to be assessed, criteria used, ranking methodology proposed, objective of the prioritization exercise, and available resources (e.g., time and quality of the expert panel involved). In addition, most of them did not consider multipathogen diseases such as mastitis, respiratory diseases, and diarrhoea, which are usually a major concern for both animal and public health and should not be automatically omitted.</p><p>The objectives of this study are to (a) identify major diseases of concern for Belgian cattle holders and their related BSM using a prioritization methodology based on the outcomes of a veterinary survey, the analysis of 3‐year laboratory databases and the review of previous prioritization articles and (b) summarize BSM related to the six most important diseases of concern, i.e., the only diseases defined as important by the three data sources following the classification process described in Figure <xref rid="tbed12982-fig-0001" ref-type="fig">1</xref>.</p><fig fig-type="Figure" xml:lang="en" id="tbed12982-fig-0001" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p>Selection criteria for the most important diseases to consider</p></caption><graphic id="nlm-graphic-1" xlink:href="TBED-65-1991-g001"></graphic></fig></sec><sec id="tbed12982-sec-0002"><label>2</label><title>MATERIAL AND METHODS</title><sec id="tbed12982-sec-0003"><label>2.1</label><title>Initial list of cattle infectious diseases</title><p>An initial list of infectious cattle diseases was established based on several sources.

The RVP were contacted on line through the two regional animal health organizations of the country, i.e., Association Régionale de Santé et d'Identification Animale (ARSIA) in Wallonia (southern part of the country) and Dierengezondheidszorg Vlaanderen (DGZ) in Flanders (northern part of the country) with monthly reminders over 4 months. The questionnaire was anonymous, available in French and Dutch version and could only be filled once by the same IP address. The number of persons included in the mailing list of the two organizations are respectively of 1876 and 1356 including both rural and small animal's practitioners as it was not possible to identify the part of RVP within these mailing lists.</p><p>In Wallonia, the RVP workforce (534 veterinarians having a rural practice out of 1876 veterinarians), was provided for each of the five provinces, by the Board of Veterinary Practitioners. A chi square test has been performed to assess that the sample of responding RVP is not unbalanced from one province to another. The counterpart workforce for Flanders was not available; indeed, in that region, veterinary practitioners have no obligation to provide details on their practices to the Regional Board.</p><p>The survey was pretested by four veterinarians before its final validation and included three questions in order to assess the frequency, 3‐year trend and the importance of each disease for the Belgian cattle sector. In the first question (Q1), RVP had to assign a score to each disease related to their average frequency based on the following scoring system: (a) never suspected, (b) suspected but never confirmed, (c) several times a year/occasionally, (d) at least once per quarter, and (e) several times a month.</p><p>In the second question (Q2), RVP were asked if the disease trend over the last 3 years was decreasing (score of 0), constant (score of 1), or increasing (score of 2).</p><p>The third question (Q3) was an open question where RVP were asked to list, in decreasing order of importance, the five main diseases affecting adult cattle; that information would help triangulating the information and identifying eventual diseases of importance omitted in the initial list. Each disease was assigned a score of 1 to 5, depending on its position in the list: (1) fifth disease listed, (2) fourth disease listed, (3) third disease listed, (4) second disease listed, and (5) first disease listed.</p><p>The answers to Q1 and Q2 were respectively used to calculate an average frequency score (af) and average trend score (at), for each disease. A global score per disease (GS) was then calculated by adding both averages.

These diseases were initially identified through the analysis of laboratory databases (DS2) provided by two regional animal health organizations, i.e., ARSIA in Wallonia (southern part of the country) and DGZ in Flanders (northern part of the country). These regional databases compiled the number of tests performed on cattle, per year and age category (adult, calves, and newborns) and their result (positive/negative), over a 3‐year period (2013 to 2015). The Veterinary and Agrochemical Research Centre (CODA‐CERVA), the national reference laboratory, provided additional data covering the period between 2012 and 2014. For each disease, the annual number of tests and the proportion of positive results were analysed. Diseases were considered equally important and attributed a score of “1” if, in at least one laboratory, one of the following arbitrary conditions was recorded: (i) >100 tests performed, (ii) >25% positive results, (iii) increasing number of tests requested over the period of concern (>66<sup>th</sup> centile), or (iv) increasing number of positive results (>66<sup>th</sup> centile).

A synthetic table of the six most important diseases‐related BSM (Table <xref rid="tbed12982-tbl-0004" ref-type="table">4</xref>) was developed (i.e., diseases identified by the three data sources). Due to similarities and frequent co‐infections, BRSV was included in the BRD.</p><p>All six diseases can be transmitted by five possible pathways: direct and indirect contact, inhalation, ingestion, trans‐placental/ venereal, and vector‐borne. The BSM listed could be grouped into six different risk categories (animal movements, vertical and venereal transmission, direct contact with external shedders/carriers and vectors, feed and water contamination, indirect contamination through fomites, human and environmental contamination) as well as five different practices (general management, general hygiene practices, management of sick animals, calves, and calving management). Seventy‐five percent of the 67 BSM listed contribute to the prevention and control of at least three diseases, while 27 BSM contribute controlling and preventing six of them. These measures mainly fall into the following categories: animal movements, contamination through fomites, and general management (e.g., housing density, proper ventilation, clean and dry bedding). Six preventive measures are disease‐specific, i.e., (a) cemented floors/concrete floor for BRD, (b) tick control measures, manure treatment before spreading and/or spreading in the absence of wind for Q fever, and (c) preventing access to surface water and pH of drinking water below 8 for salmonellosis.</p></sec></sec><sec id="tbed12982-sec-0015"><label>4</label><title>DISCUSSION</title><p>The most important diseases from different perspectives (farm, animal health, economical, environmental, and public health impacts) were identified using an original prioritization methodology based on the outcomes of three data sources and after correction of biases related to each of them. In particular, nineteen diseases not listed in the previous diseases prioritization exercises have been identified and represent a major concern for cattle holders while not necessarily addressed by a national control program for now.</p><p>Discrepancies between the vet survey (DS1) and laboratory data (DS2) for 13 diseases are mainly explained by the fact that they are usually diagnosed and treated in the field, on the basis of clinical signs. It is the case for the two diseases showing the most significant disease index but not coming out from DS 2 analysis (mastitis and interdigital dermatitis).</p><p>Neosporosis and paratuberculosis did not show an increasing trend but are frequently suspected by the RVP. Furthermore, they are both part of a national control program with a mean of, respectively, 155,379 and 290,057 annual test requests (DS2). A real increase was therefore unlikely.</p><p>Six diseases showed a significant increase through analysis of laboratory databases, but not from the RVP’ point of view. Indeed, the number of tests requested over the last 3 years increased for BEL, leptospirosis, and bluetongue. Even though Belgium was declared as BEL‐officially free in 1997 (AFSCA, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0001" ref-type="ref">2017a</xref>,<xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0002" ref-type="ref">b</xref>), it is still tested in parallel with brucellosis to maintain this status (CODA‐CERVA, Riocreux Flavien personal communication) and do not represent a real increase of suspicions. Its classification as “important” could therefore be reconsidered. For both leptospirosis and bluetongue, the number of test requests increased significantly in 2015, despite a low frequency reported by RVP. This could be related to increased surveillance motivated by bluetongue outbreaks in France and suspected outbreaks of leptospirosis in Belgium. Indeed, for leptospirosis, a peak of abortions, with icteric syndrome, was observed during the first half of 2014, which led to increased testing (Delooz et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">2015</xref>). In addition, subclinical infections are frequently reported with bluetongue (Brenner et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0009" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>).</p><p>We observed more than 25% of positive results for Bo‐HV4 disease, Schmallenberg disease and cryptosporidiosis. These diseases were not listed as frequent, increasing or important by the RVP. Previous studies have confirmed the endemic status of Bo‐HV4 in southern Belgium, along with a high seroconversion rate of cows (Delooz, Czaplicki, Houtain, Dal Pozzo, & Saegerman, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0012" ref-type="ref">2016</xref>). Nevertheless, the relationship between Bo‐HV4 and abortion is still subject to controversy and the disease might be underranked by the RVP due to the nonpathognomonic character of clinical signs. In order to further assess the role of Bo‐HV4 in abortions, a recent study included the search of the virus in the abortion protocol already implemented in southern Belgium (Delooz et al., <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0012" ref-type="ref">2016</xref>; Delooz, Czaplicki, Houtain, Mullender, & Saegerman, 2012) and highlighted a possible association; specific awareness raising messages were already sent in that region (Delooz et al., 2012). Regarding Schmallenberg disease, such high proportion of positive results is probably related to the confirmatory character of the test, within a herd management program or policy, as clinical signs are quite pathognomonic; it does probably not reflect a high disease prevalence nor the current circulation rate of the virus. At last, a high proportion of positive tests was noticed for cryptosporitiosis. <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> sp. is a coccidium causing clinical signs mostly in young animals; adult cattle is resistant and, thus, does not show any clinical signs (Geurden, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0023" ref-type="ref">2007</xref>).</p><p>The review of previous disease prioritization exercises led to include additional diseases, also considered as important, in the list. These were: (a) major zoonoses with little or no impact on animal health, i.e., campylobacteriosis, CCHF, cysticercosis and echinococcosis, (b) diseases eradicated from Belgium or targeted by an effective national control program (anthrax, Aujeszky's disease, BSE, boTB, brucellosis, FMD, and rabies), and (c) low‐incidence diseases such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and botulism.</p><p>The list of 48 important diseases compiled in this study is coherent with the Belgian context and includes all the OIE notifiable diseases present in Belgium with the exception of trichomonosis. The disease is rarely diagnosed by RVP or tested in the laboratories; in addition, zoonotic strains do not seem to be incriminated in cattle abortions (Shaapan, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0047" ref-type="ref">2016</xref>). Its inclusion in the list depends on the objectives and foreseen usage of the disease classification exercise.</p><p>Out of the 48 diseases, 25 are nonnotifiable but of major importance in Belgium due to their economic impact and/or high occurrence. Nineteen of them were not considered as important by the previous prioritization exercises while relevant in Belgian adult cattle. This additional list could guide the decision makers for future control programs as these diseases are a major concern for cattle holders. The six diseases identified as important by the three data sources are covering the different diseases transmission pathways, therefore the proper implementation of their related BSM (Table <xref rid="tbed12982-tbl-0004" ref-type="table">4</xref>) should improve the prevention and control of the majority of other cattle diseases. Based on the transtheoretical model of behaviour change, as well as other theories and existing models (Armitage, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0005" ref-type="ref">2009</xref>; Mase, Gramig, & Prokopy, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0034" ref-type="ref">2017</xref>; Morris, Marzano, Danady, & O'Brien, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0036" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>; Prochaska & Diclemente, <xref rid="tbed12982-bib-0041" ref-type="ref">1983</xref>), the “possible personal benefits” is a constant key factor motivating the adoption of new behaviour. Therefore, identifying the risk factors and associated biosecurity measures related to the six diseases with a high or significant disease index could be used to improve the technical guidance for farmers and better answer their main concerns. Once the farmer has engaged into a behaviour change and is convinced of the efficiency and relevance of biosecurity, the introduction of additional measures will be accepted easily. As the six most important diseases to consider cover all the possible transmission pathways, future researches should focus on the BSM prioritization based on their level of implementation and acceptation by the herders, their feasibility and their cost‐effectiveness in terms of disease(s) prevention. In order to ensure the acceptability of the BSM to be prioritized by the farmers a participative approach in recommended in order to take into account the farmers opinions, perceptions, and expertise on the topic.</p></sec><sec id="tbed12982-sec-0016"><label>5</label><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>Due to their possible impact on the economy, it is important to raise the level of awareness of the herders regarding emerging and exotic diseases. Nevertheless, starting by addressing the farmer's priority issues is a key strategy for them to adopt the biosecurity measures on a long‐term perspective. Identifying the most important diseases affecting cattle farms is therefore necessary in order to initiate the process of change. Specific measures related to public health purposes could be introduced easily afterwards. Future researches should focus on the assessment of the level of implementation of the BSM related to the most important diseases to be targeted (six in the case of Belgian cattle herds), as well as the possible constraints and factors affecting their adoption by the farmers in order to be able to prioritize the most effective BSM to be promoted.</p><p>The methodology proposed and relying on the outcomes of a veterinary survey, the analysis of the laboratory databases over the past 3 years and the review of previous prioritization exercises, allowed identifying the diseases of major concern for cattle holders. The proposed methodology represents a practical tool for other users who could easily adjust the selection criteria to their specific objectives, needs, and context. That makes possible the future development of a biosecurity tool useable at the national level.</p></sec><sec sec-type="COI-statement" id="tbed12982-sec-0018"><title>CONFLICT OF INTEREST</title><p>The authors declare no conflict of interest.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supporting information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="tbed12982-sup-0001"><caption><p> </p></caption><media xlink:href="TBED-65-1991-s001.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="tbed12982-sup-0002"><caption><p> </p></caption><media xlink:href="TBED-65-1991-s002.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="tbed12982-sup-0003"><caption><p> </p></caption><media xlink:href="TBED-65-1991-s003.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><ack id="tbed12982-sec-0017"><title>ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS</title><p>This study was supported by the Belgian Federal Public Service for Health, Food Safety, and Environment (Contract RT 15/4 BOBIOSEC1).
