Also available in:
No results found.Infectious myonecrosisvirus (IMNV) is an emerging disease of whitelegshrimp, and is one of only a few internationally important diseases of crustaceans listed by the World Organisationfor Animal Health (OIE), owing to its high pathogenicity; its potential for significant economic, social and/or biological impacts on countries that have not as yet been affected by the disease; and the difficulty or impossibility to treat, control or eradicate it once it has been introduced to new geographic areas. The project aimed to strengthen institutional biosecurity governance for dealing with IMNV in six countries: Brazil, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, Mexico and Thailand. -
Policy briefHow natural resource management sectors can contribute to reducing emerging infectious diseases: the example of forest ecosystems
Policy brief
2022Also available in:
No results found.This policy brief is a result of a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and EcoHealth Alliance. The aim of the brief is to suggest ways, using the example of forest ecosystems, in which natural resource management sector can play a more active role in reducing risk and/or mitigating the impact of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). This would reflect and facilitate a more holistic and upstream One Health approach as defined by the One Health High-Level Expert Panel, an advisory and scientific body to the Quadripartite Alliance for One Health (FAO-WOAH-WHO-UNEP). Based on guidance from FAO’s Governing Bodies, inter alia, the Committee on Forests, the Committee on Agriculture and its Subcommittee on Livestock, and FAO’s Regional Forestry Commissions, the recommendations from this brief are directed at national government authorities in charge of natural resource management, in addition to other relevant stakeholders involved in environmental management and land use planning. The recommendations are structured around eight illustrative entry points whereby the natural resource management sector can increase participation in efforts to reduce EID risk, thus applying a more holistic One Health approach. -
