Book (stand-alone)Manual of Standard Operating Procedures for Selected Chemical Residue and Contaminant Analysis 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Food safety is an important global public health and trade matter, with chemical hazards occupying centre stage due to associated acute and chronic health outcomes. There is also an increasing need to address antimicrobial resistance concerns. While food remains a major vehicle for exposure to these hazards, related matrices cannot be ignored. Animal feed for instance may contain drug or pesticide residues as well as mycotoxins that could carry-over to food either as parent compounds or their metabolites of toxicological relevance. Contaminated water is also another medium of potential exposure to food hazards. A concerted effort is required to address the need for a safe food supply and one critical stakeholder is the testing laboratory. While this requires trained and capable analysts as well as reliable instrumentation, analytical methods are a major need. Development and validation – to ensure fitness of purpose – and availability of these methods is a necessity. This manual, consisting of several Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), presents another opportunity for laboratories to address gaps in analytical methods and/or expand their options. The manual contains techniques for analyzing certain mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, fumonisin and ochratoxin in matrices that include milk, edible vegetable oil and animal feed etc. A range of veterinary drug residues including permitted and prohibited substances in animal matrices including fish, are also addressed. Several pesticide residues in cereals, fruits and vegetables are also covered. A couple of methods for analysis of selected metals are also presented. -
Book (stand-alone)Analyzing the benefits of implementing the IPPC: A review of the benefits of contracting party implementation 2017
Also available in:
No results found.A report of the Implementation and Review Support System (IRSS) study: Analyzing the benefits of implementing the IPPC. This study was commissioned by the CPM Bureau, to identify the benefits of implementing the IPPC at the national, regional and global level, while also considering benefits to different industries and sectors relating to plant health. The different aspects that were to be considered were in relation to implementation of the Convention, ISPMs and CPM recommendations, in achievin g the IPPC strategic objectives. The outcomes of this study are intended to highlight to the beneficiaries and stakeholders of the IPPC, how implementation of the Convention, ISPMs and CPM recommendations is of value to them. The beneficiaries are considered the IPPC community, at the global, regional and national levels, who are involved in plant health implementation activities. The study will demonstrate benefits using a series of case studies. -
Book (stand-alone)Monitoring and evaluation for effective management of zoonotic diseases
An operational tool of the Tripartite Zoonoses Guide
2024Also available in:
No results found.Zoonotic diseases pose significant risks to both animal and human health, impacting livelihoods, economies, and national and global food and health security. In response, FAO, WHO, and WOAH convened over 100 international experts to develop the 2019 Tripartite Zoonoses Guide (TZG), which offers standardized guidance and best practices for addressing zoonotic diseases globally. To further assist countries with their operational approaches, a suite of operational tools based on the TZG's technical principles is currently under development.Many countries have expressed interest in developing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plans for One Health zoonotic disease systems but often face limitations in expertise and resources. The Monitoring and Evaluation Operational Tool (M&E OT) addresses this gap by providing comprehensive guidance on creating an M&E framework. It offers methods for conceptualizing best practices from the TZG and resources to help countries design and implement M&E activities using the principles outlined in the TZG and its operational tools.This document serves as a step-by-step guide for utilizing the M&E OT in a stepwise approach, enabling countries to establish a robust monitoring and evaluation framework for zoonotic diseases. This framework will support existing and new monitoring and evaluation processes for zoonotic disease strategies and plans, all within the One Health approach.
