Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureGuiding principles for the design of avian influenza active surveillance in Asia
Designing active, comprehensive, risk-based avian influenza surveillance
2022Also available in:
No results found.These guidelines aim at supporting countries in the elaboration and planning of active surveillance schemes at national level for the monitoring and early detection of HPAI viruses. The document addresses the principles for HPAI active surveillance and the aspects that should be considered by countries when planning such activity: selection of sites, animal species, sample types and sample size, sampling frequency, and data collection. These guidelines are purposely concise for countries to get an overview of the components of HPAI active surveillance. Furthermore, the guidelines link to FAO technical publications which provide more details for field staff on practical aspects of HPAI active surveillance. -

BookletCorporate general interestIguaçu statement - Tackling high pathogenicity avian influenza together
Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil – 11 September 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Iguaçu Statement is a global call to action to address the growing threat of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI). Uniting representatives from governments, international organizations, scientific institutions, civil society, and the private sector, the statement outlines a shared commitment to prevent HPAI by building robust systems for early detection and rapid control, protect poultry and egg value chains, livelihoods, and trade, and transform poultry systems to be resilient, sustainable, and ready to meet future demands. It emphasizes the importance of surveillance and early detection, biosecurity, and rapid control measures for poultry, wildlife, and human populations. Key actions include integrating the Global Strategy into national plans by 2026, establishing dedicated funding, harmonizing regional protocols, and ensuring transparent outbreak reporting. The Statement urges governments, regional bodies, private sector actors, and resource partners to collaborate on surveillance, emergency response, research, and financing mechanisms to mitigate HPAI risks. This collective commitment underscores that words alone are not enough and the global community pledges to turn commitments into measurable actions, protecting animals, people, and the planet from HPAI’s devastating impacts.

Book (series)Technical reportJoint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Tropane Alkaloids
30 March – 3 April 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.Between March and April 2019, many cases of suspected food poisoning were reported by health care workers in the Karamoja region of the Republic of Uganda. Consumption of food products that had high levels of tropane alkaloids was identified as the cause. This group of compounds occur in several plant genera that belong to the Solanaceae family and can contaminate staples like cereals and grains. Given the absence of international guidance and regulations, a Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Tropane Alkaloids was convened remotely between 30 March – 3 April 2020. This publication captures the discussions of the expert meeting and provides risks assessments of tropane alkaloids (hyoscyamine and scopolamine) as well as recommendations outlining appropriate risk management options. -
