    The incursion of the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the most serious pathogen of cultured shrimp, into Mozambique and Madagascar prompted national governments and international agencies such as the World Bank and FAO to develop long-term policy actions through a strategy that will improve aquatic biosecurity governance in the three countries (Madagascar, Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania) of the Mozambique Channel, so that the risks of diseases affecting shrimp aquaculture can be reduced. The Technical Workshop on the Development of a Strategy for Improving Biosecurity (Aquatic Animal Health) in the Subregional Countries of the Mozambique Channel (Madagascar, Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania), held from 2 to 4 April 2013 in Maputo, Mozambique, was organized and facilitated by FAO with financial support from the World Bank and hosted by the National Institute for Development of Aquaculture and the Institute for Fish Inspection of Mozambique.
