ProjectImproving Global, Regional and National Capacities for Field Veterinary Epidemiology and Surveillance Networks - GCP/GLO/892/USA 2024
Also available in:
With veterinary epidemiology capacities around the world lacking, there is high demand for a well-trained global veterinary workforce. Training veterinarians and animal health professionals in field veterinary epidemiology will better equip them to monitor livestock diseases, including zoonotic diseases. As a result, surveillance can be conducted efficiently and outbreaks identified and analysed more rapidly, allowing countries to prevent and respond to outbreaks in a more effective and timely manner using a One Health approach. The present project, the second phase of a project implemented between 2014 and 2018, aimed to continue to build field veterinary epidemiology capacity through training sessions on field epidemiology for veterinarians, participatory epidemiology/disease surveillance (PE/PDS) and risk assessment, as well as to support sustainable networks through the development of disease information platforms for sharing of epidemiological information. -
Book (stand-alone)Capacity building for surveillance and control of zoonotic diseases
FAO/WHO/OIE Expert and Technical Consultation Rome, 14 –16 June 2005
2006The 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. Following a summary presentation of each paper by the primary author, discussions were held with both other experts and FAO invited participants and staff. Finally, the experts deliberated and presented their conclusions and recommendations to a plenary session. -
ProjectBuilding Regional Surveillance, Prevention and Management Capacities to Combat the Possible Spread of Fusarium Wilt Caused by Fusariumoxysporumf.sp.cubense Tropical Race 4 Fungus (FOC TR4) - TCP/RLA/3724 2022
Also available in:
Bananas are the world's fourth most important staple food and an important consumption and export item in RLC, a region that is home to six of the world's top ten exporters and three of the world's top producers Banana Fusarium Wilt, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f sp cubense Foc is one of the most destructive banana and plantain diseases worldwide and a serious threat to the RLC region Tropical Race 4 Foc TR 4 has caused severe losses in southeast Asian countries with serious repercussions for smallholders, workers and the banana value chain It is estimated that without consistent and coordinated action between and among countries, this pest could affect more than 1 6 million ha by 2040 The Foc TR 4 can be spread by infested plant materials, spores and soil particles attached to agricultural tools, shoes, vehicles and other means Irrigation and water drainage, particularly flooding, plays a critical role in its spread Controlling its spread requires the strengthening of country prevention and surveillance systems, but also a commitment to international coordination in order to develop and implement collective protection strategies There is therefore a need to i formulate a regional action plan for Foc TR 4 prevention, surveillance and eventual response ii) develop and adopt national action plans for Foc TR 4 response, surveillance and prevention and iii) build capacities to contribute to Foc TR 4 prevention, response and surveillance, as essential elements for ownership and sustainability of all these actions.
