Avian Influenza Disease Emergency
2007Also available in:
No results found.In the run-up to the Senior Officials Meeting on Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) to be held in New Delhi in December this year, the world’s leading agencies involved in the fight against HPAI H5N1 have organised a technical meeting from 27 to 29 June at FAO headquarters in Rome to assess current strategies and practices for the control of HPAI in poultry and reduction of the associated risk of human infection. Co-organised by FAO, OIE and WHO, in collaboration with UNICEF and UNSIC, the meeting is being seen as an invaluable stock-taking exercise prior to the Senior Officials Meeting in New Delhi, the fourth in a series of similar meetings (January 2006 in Beijing, China, June 2006 in Vienna, Austria, and December 2006 in Bamako, Mali). -

No results found.Speeding up the response to biosecurity threats - Crisis Management Centre to handle food chain. FAO has placed the protection of biosecurity high on its agenda for coming years with the launching October 12 of its Crisis Management Centre, a rapid response facility designed to boost and expand its already existing capacity to handle transboundary animal diseases such as avian influenza in association with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). Officially inaugurated by FAO Director-G eneral Jacques Diouf in the presence of OIE Director-General Bernard Vallat, the new centre is equipped with the latest communications technology and a core staff of scientists and emergency experts is already on constant stand-by to move into action the moment an animal disease or other threat to the world’s food chain is reported. emergencies
