Abstract Background Measles is a vaccine-preventable infectious disease and it remains one of the leading causes of infant mortality globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) has adopted the goal of eliminating measles and rubella. Detection and control of communicable diseases would not be possible without accurate laboratory results regarding when and where a particular disease circulates. Methods WHO/Europe therefore works with all Member States to steadily improve the quality of the laboratory data in order to determine the Region's progress towards measles and rubella elimination. For this purpose coordinates the European Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network (MR LabNet). National labs in this network undergoes regular external quality assessment through an annual accreditation programme. Results In Italy, a Sub-national Reference Laboratories Network for measles and rubella (MoRoNET) has been developed since March 2017 and currently includes 15 laboratories. MoRoNet was developed following the indications of the MR LabNet. It is accreditate, coordinated and supervised by the National Reference Laboratory. Conclusions Strengthening the role of national laboratories in overseeing the performance of subnational laboratories has become a critical need in order to properly monitor the Region's measles and rubella elimination efforts. MoRoNet permits to Italy to develop a country-specific work plan for establishing national networks and oversight mechanism, including preliminary monitoring and evaluation indicators compliant with MR LabNet standards. This is very significant not only to optimize the participation in national and regional processes to verify disease elimination, but also to strengthen the quality of vaccine-preventable disease surveillance.

Key messages MoRoNet has permitted to Italy to develop a country-specific work plan for establishing national networks and oversight mechanism, compliant with WHO MR LabNet standards. MoRoNet network has permitted to optimize the participation in processes to verify disease elimination, but also to strengthen the quality of vaccine-preventable disease surveillance.

Economic And Social Impacts

Hawks and owls can negatively impact a variety of human interests, including important natural resources, livestock and game bird production, human health and safety, and companion animals. Conflicts between raptors and people generally are localized and often site-specific. However, the economic and social impacts to the individuals involved can be severe. Despite the problems they may cause, hawks and owls provide important benefits and environmental services. Raptors are popular with birdwatchers and much of the general public. They also hunt and kill large numbers of rodents, reducing crop damage and other problems. Hawks and owls are classified into four main groups, namely accipiters, buteos, falcons, and owls. All hawks and owls in the United States are federally pro-tected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 USC, 703−711). Hawks and owls typically are protected under state wildlife laws or local ordinances, as well. These laws strictly prohibit the capture, killing, or possession of hawks or owls (or their parts) without a special permit (e.g., Feder-al Depredation Permit), issued by the USFWS. State-issued wildlife damage or depredation permits also may be required.
