Collating examples of Institutions, Policies and Stakeholders involved in the Management of Zoonoses
The Australian Animal Health Laboratory at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Geelong, Victoria have issued a report ’’Collating examples of Institutions, Policies and Stakeholders involved in the Management of Zoonoses’’.
They also developed a database http://www.zoonoses.csiro.au intended to advise the agenda of the forthcoming DFID Zoonoses in Emergent Livestock Systems (ZELS) programme. The database already has 500 entries.
Chapters in the report and database that may be of interest to members of the ASW network and the One Health community include ‘’Management of Zoonotic Disease Emergencies’’, which calls for emergency prevention, preparedness, response and recovery to align with - and be included in - the Hyogo Framework for Action and ISDR agenda – and the chapter on ‘’Health Systems Strengthening’’ which calls for a multi-sectoral approach to risk management.
