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

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.

Consultation on potential risks of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus at the human-animal interface
Scientific teleconference
2009

The global transmission of the pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus continues to occur through person-to-person contact. Joint statements have been made by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) about the safety of pork and pork products. Some questions may remain, however, about the potential risk to human health through contact with pigs potentially infected with this virus and their products from p rimary production to consumer. At the time of this Consultation, the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus had been confirmed in one swine herd in Canada. While food safety issues are not normally raised on a global level when human infections with what appears to be a swine influenza virus occur, given the current public health context it is essential to base ongoing decisions on the most current and accurate science available.
