    The objectives of the consultation were to consider and make specific recommendations regarding the implementation of surveillance methodologies for zoonotic diseases, with special emphasis on developing countries in the fol-lowing major areas: • training programmes in surveillance methodologies at veterinary and paraveterinary levels; • implementation of a surveillance programme in taeniasis/ cysticercosis; • training programmes for the surveillance, prevention and control of BSE; • capacity building for surveillance and control of zoonotic disease under emergency conditions; • surveillance and control programmes in brucellosis, tuberculosis, anthrax, salmonellosis and other foodborne pathogens; • surveillance, early warning and early reaction to zoonoses outbreaks; and • surveillance approaches in antimicrobial resistance. Background papers were presented on each of the above topics by invited participants. Each expert was asked to have a minim um of two coauthors or peer-reviewers of their paper. All papers were circulated electronically to consultants prior to the meeting. A one-page summary of each paper is included in the following section and the full papers in the appendices.

    The livestock sector in Mongolia is the main pillar of the rural economy, contributing to 16 percent of the national GDP and providing livelihoods for 30 percent of its population. However, over the decades, the livestock industry has been confronted by occasional flare-ups of transboundary animal diseases (TADs). Through their Joint Division, support from FAO and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) enabled Mongolia to strengthen capacities in controlling animal diseases, especially transboundary diseases, by boosting research on safe nuclear and nuclear-derived techniques for diagnosis for quicker detection of the disease, training personnel on these techniques, and providing equipment and expert services.
