Even though a system for providing periodic information about vesicular diseases has been in place in South America since 1961, it has always clearly been aimed at recording foot and mouth disease, with vesicular stomatitis only forming part of the process of differential diagnosis for foot and mouth disease. It is therefore possible to confirm that no specific vesicular stomatitis information system exists at the continental level with the ability to consolidate all of the information required to carry out full epidemiological surveillance of the disease. The epidemiological surveillance of vesicular stomatitis involves integrating information from both the field and the laboratory. The establishment of any epidemiological surveillance system must take into consideration that knowledge about the environmental structures that allow the maintenance and circulation of the disease agents is incomplete and that the existence of a large number of infections has been confirmed with no clinical manifestations. The structure of any such system should include components that permit an active search for the agents' activity in domestic animals, whether apparent or otherwise, as well as in wildlife and insect populations. The establishment of programmes to control the disease depends on this information being available to guide control measures
