The claim that the agency is Paris-based and cited Ivorian authorities is present in the primary report. While the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) is known to be based in Paris, the provided evidence results for this specific claim index are generic news links and do not explicitly verify the 'Paris-based' or 'citing Ivorian authorities' part of this specific sentence, though it is consistent with the context of the other reports.
