Regulatory Frameworks for Control of Hpai and Other Tads

Recent intensive efforts to prevent, contain and eliminate high-impact diseases such as highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) have given a sense of urgency to the development of improved disease control strategies, harmonized across regions, in order to tackle transboundary disease control using more uniform, robust and effective methods. In partnership with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO), FAO has adopted a One Health approach in strengthening the systems to detect and combat new pathogens by creating a coordinated response to disease outbreaks, by implementing effective prevention and containment strategies, and by managing the risks of disease emergence. The One Health initiative builds on the lessons learned from, and the achievements of, the responses to H5N1 HPAI and H1N1 epidemics. This handbook adopts the principles and approach of One Health by creating an understanding of the context in which diseases emerge and by presenting the two key issues legislation and regulatory frameworks for the attention of administrators and policy-makers."
