    The Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 initiative (ASL2050), under the guidance of a National Steering Committee comprising representatives of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Federal Ministry of Environment and the Federal Ministry of Health, has designed and implemented an expert elicitation protocol to assemble information on selected zoonoses and on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The protocol was designed to gather the data needed for measuring the impact of zoonoses on society in monetary terms. This brief presents the results of the ASL2050 expert elicitation protocol on zoonotic diseases in Nigeria, as validated by stakeholders.

    Influenza and other zoonotic diseases at the human-animal interface
    FAO/OIE/WHO Joint Scientific Consultation, 27-29 April 2010, Verona (Italy)

    Also available in:
    Given the complexity of zoonotic disease emergence in an increasingly globalized world, effective strategies for reducing future threats must be identified. Lessons learned from past experiences controlling diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), and pandemic (H1N1) 2009, indicate that new paradigms are needed for early detection, prevention, and control to reduce persistent global threats from influenza and other emerging zoonotic dis eases. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), and the World Health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie (IZSVe) organised a joint scientific consultation in Verona, Italy (27-29 April 2010) entitled “FAO-OIE-WHO Joint Scientific Consultation on Influenza and Other Emerging Zoonotic Diseases at the Human-Animal Interface". This document is a summary of the consu ltation. It provides examples of emerged or emerging zoonotic viral diseases. It describes commonalities across diseases and ideas for new approaches and suggests steps towards translating meeting outcomes into policy.
