Save the World. Play the Game.

The Rinderpest Challenge is back!

On 15 January 2020,
the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) will launch the second edition of the OIE Rinderpest Challenge!

Let’s imagine: 2020. Rinderpest virus, the only animal disease eradicated in the world, returns from the past, threatening animal health security globally. You need to take action! Of course, eradicating the disease once more won’t be feasible in one day nor if you play alone!
  • Involve your network in your country to eradicate Rinderpest definitely.
  • You will have 4 weeks to beat last year’s winning score reached by South Africa: 505,210 points.
We count on you to spread the word and recruit as many players as possible for your country’s team. Download, play and share the game with your network of veterinarians, veterinary paraprofessionals, community animal health workers, veterinary students and laboratory staff to make your country the world saviour and win the challenge!

All the players from the winning country will receive a certificate from the OIE to praise their achievements in helping to eradicate the virus and the player from this country who achieves the highest score will win a TRIP TO PARIS for the OIE General Session in May 2020!
