Book (series)Technical studyLe virus de l’influenza aviaire hautement pathogène H5N8, de clade 2.3.4.4, a été détecté grâce à la surveillance des oiseaux migrateurs sauvages dans la République Tyva, en Fédération de Russie, et pourrait se propager au niveau international 2016
Also available in:
Début juin 2016, le virus de l’influenza aviaire hautement pathogène A (H5N8) de la lignée Goose/ Guangdong/96, appartenant au clade 2.3.4.4, a été détecté chez des oiseaux migrateurs aux alentours du lac Ubsu-Nur, dans la République Tyva (Fédération de Russie), qui se trouve sur l’itinéraire qu’empruntent les oiseaux migrateurs en Asie centrale (Organisation mondiale de la santé animale [OIE], 2016; Département de l’environnement, de l’alimentation et des affaires rurales, 2016). Au cours des s aisons passées, on a noté qu’après à la détection du virus de la grippe aviaire dans cette région de la Fédération de Russie des virus similaires avaient été dépistés ailleurs, en particulier à l’ouest et au sud de la République Tyva. Tous les pays qui se trouvent sur cet itinéraire migratoire, ainsi que ceux situés à l’ouest dans les anciennes républiques soviétiques, au Moyen-Orient, en Europe orientale et même en Afrique (en particulier en Afrique occidentale) devraient être vigilants face au risque d’incursion de ce virus. -
Book (series)Manual / guideSurveillance de la grippe aviaire hautement pathogène chez les oiseaux sauvages
Prélèvement d’échantillons sur des oiseaux sains, malades et morts
2007La sauvagine et les oiseaux de rivage sont considérés comme des réservoirs naturels de tous les sous-types viraux de la grippe aviaire dont la plupart n’ont peu ou pas d’effets pathogènes sur la faune sauvage. Le virus grippal de type A a toutefois subi un ensemble de dérives et de réassortiments génétiques qui ont abouti à la souche H5N1 responsable d’infections, létales ou non, chez de nombreuses espèces sauvages. Bien qu’un certain degré de surveillance soit désormais exercé, des recherches c omplémentaires s’imposent afin de déterminer le rôle des oiseaux sauvages dans le portage sain et l’excrétion des virus de la grippe aviaire. Ce manuel donne des indications de base pour la surveillance de la faune sauvage et les enquêtes sur les cas infectieux, quelle qu’en soit la cause. Ses chapitres traitent des signes cliniques des maladies infectieuses, de la manipulation des oiseaux et des techniques de prélèvement d’échantillons, de la manipulation et du transport des échantillons, que lle que soit la cause de morbidité présumée, et des techniques de diagnostic. Il comporte également des recommandations importantes sur la désinfection et la protection personnelle. -

Also available in:
Ce document fournit une estimation de la probabilité d'introduction de l'IAH H5N1 de pays récemment infectés (Liban et Irak) à d'autres pays de la région du Moyen-Orient et des territoires voisins à la suite de la circulation (légale et illégale) de volailles vivantes, des produits avicoles et de la migration des oiseaux sauvages.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
