    Technical study
    Risk-based examples and approach for control of Trichinella spp. and Taenia saginata in meat
    Revised edition
    2020
    Also available in:

    Human trichinellosis is caused by the consumption of raw or inadequately treated meat from domestic or game animals containing the larvae of parasites of the Trichinella species. Taenia saginata causes bovine cysticercosis, a parasitic disease of cattle, by the larval stage (Cysticercus bovis) of the human tapeworm Taenia saginata. Taeniosis, infection of humans with the adult tapeworm, ocurrs following consumption of beef with cysticerci that has not been sufficiently heated or frozen to kill the parasite. This report provides the spreadsheet models resulted in effective generation of the quantitative information needed by public health officials when evaluating different postmortem meat hygiene programmes for Trichinella spp. and Taenia saginata in meat. The models enable the development of science-based risk scenarios to assess the effect of various changes to digestion testing and meat inspection for Trichinella spp. and Taenia saginata on the residual risk of human trichinellosis and taeniosis. The outcome of estimation is based on changes in relative risks rather than specific estimates of risk.

    Technical study
    Trypanotolerant livestock in West and Central Africa - Vol. 2. Country studies 1980
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Trypanotolerant cattle, sheep and goats are reviewed in the 18 countries of West and Central Africa where they are found, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Upper Volta, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Gabon, Congo and Zaire. Classification, distribution, description, performance and productivity are considered. The productivity of trypanotolerant livestock relative to other indigenous types in Africa may well be higher than previously assumed, thus recommendations and possibles locations are presented for cooperative programmes to evaluate their potential and further utilization and to ensure the conservation of endangered breeds. This second volume presents more detailed information on the trypanotolerant livestock found in each of the 18 countries of the study area. Each chapter includes information on the livestock numbers and distribution, on specific trypanotolerant cattle, sheep and goats, on the research and development activities, and lists at the end a selected bibliography.
