“…Essa fase descreve a probabilidade de introdução do perigo, desde o local de origem até o local de destino dos animais ou de seus produtos (OIE 2006, Figueiredo et al 2012c). Consiste em descrever os processos biológicos necessários para que uma atividade de importação provoque a introdução de agentes patogênicos por um meio determinado e estimar a probabilidade que isso ocorra efetivamente (MacDiarmid 1993, Murray et al 2004) Para esta avaliação deve ser levado em consideração o volume esperado de transações de animais ou de seus produtos entre os países; a infraestrutura do SVO do país de origem; a distribuição e prevalência do agente no país ou na região de origem; as medidas preventivas adotadas pelo SVO no país de origem e sua eficiência; a sobrevivência do agente patogênico de interesse no animal ou produtos, levando em consideração as variáveis como espécie, raça, locais de predileção do agente e as condições de processamento; potencial de contaminação existente e ações e medidas preventivas adotadas no país de destino (MacDiarmid & Pharo 2003, Marabelli 2003, Vallat & Wilson 2003, Murray et al 2004, OIE 2006, 2012b, Leanes et al 2011.…”

“…Sua principal tarefa é garantir que todas as partes envolvidas na produção de alimentos cumpram com suas respectivas obrigações sanitárias e higiênicas, a fim de assegurar um alimento seguro para o consumidor (Marabelli 2003). No Brasil, o SVO é representado, em nível federal, pelo Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) e pelo Ministério da Pesca e Aquicultura (MPA) e, em nível estadual, pelos órgãos de defesa sanitária animal das unidades federativas.…”

Pesq. Vet. Bras. 34(6):542-554, junho 2014 542 RESUMO.-O serviço veterinário oficial é responsável por proteger a saúde pública e animal, assegurando a oferta de produtos de origem animal inócuos aos consumidores. Uma ferramenta que auxilia na busca desses objetivos é a análise de risco, que iniciou a ser utilizada na segunda metade da década de 90 pelos serviços veterinários oficiais dos países. Para a realização de uma análise de risco, qualitativa ou quantitativa, inicialmente deve-se identificar o perigo, a qual na área da saúde animal geralmente é o agente patogênico causador de uma doença. A etapa subsequente The official veterinary service is responsible for protecting public and animal health, certifying the supply of safe animal products to consumers. A tool that assists in the pursuit of these goals is the risk analysis, which began to be used in the second half of the 1990s for the official veterinary services of countries. To carry out a risk analysis, qualitative or quantitative, one must initially identify the danger, which in the area of animal health is usually the pathogen causing a disease. The subsequent step is risk assessment, which must be analyzed, supported by scientific studies or experts in the field, the possible ways of introduction, exposition and maintenance of the pathogen in the susceptible population, as well biological, economic, political and social consequences. The third step in the analysis of risk refers to risk management, which aims to propose measures to mitigate the risk to the desired level, and assess the cost/benefit of each measure. The last phase of a risk analysis is risk communication. This step is critical for success of the study and should be initiated along with risk analysis itself, always leaving open a permanent communication with all social actors interested in risk analysis. Risk analysis has become an important tool used by managers of the official veterinary services in decision-making, contributing to the choice of alternatives that give scientifically the lowest animal health risk. This study conducted a review of the literature on risk analysis aimed to expose its definition and development process, as well as to see how it is being used and what limitations and challenges of using this tool by the Brazilian national veterinary service.

“…Over the past decade, the emphasis of veterinary practice has shifted from the traditional role of treatment and care of individual animals and the protection of human health to mass therapies, the implementation of plans for eradication of animal diseases, the development of animal nutrition, and the shift from pathological control of abattoir animals to the concept of the abattoir as an epidemiological observatory where the results of farming activities may be verified (Marabelli 2003). Food safety has been placed at the forefront through the tools of hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP).…”

Veterinary services are indispensable to the sustained health and wellbeing of animals and humans, and agricultural economies of countries worldwide. Veterinary education, postgraduate training, and research, and adequate numbers of veterinarians, are essential to satisfy the millennium development goals, the objectives of NEPAD and the African Union, and the agreements regulating international trade.The relevance of the veterinary profession internationally is currently subject to profound scrutiny. Its contributions are assessed against major environmental, demographic, political, disease, technological and economic needs. The scope of veterinary training in future will have to emphasise veterinary public health, food safety, emerging diseases, international trade, bioterrorism, and biomedical research, within the context of a one-health system focusing on the interface between wildlife, domesticated animals, humans, and their environment. Within the context of time available, it would mean reducing the time allocated to training in the field of companion animals.A brief history and scope of veterinary education; current international trends in veterinary education and provisioning; and some perspectives on future veterinary training and initiatives applicable to Africa are provided.

“…A OH approach not only necessitates, but mandates, inter-disciplinary collaboration across human, animal and environmental health sectors . Although principally associated with emerging infectious disease (EID) prevention and control, OH approaches are also relevant to endemic and zoonotic animal diseases, food safety and health promotion (Grace and Jones, 2011;Marabelli, 2003;Rock and Degeling, 2016).…”

Culling and the Common Good: Re-evaluating Harms and Benefits under the One Health Paradigm

One Health (OH) is a novel paradigm that recognizes that human and non-human animal health is interlinked through our shared environment. Increasingly prominent in public health responses to zoonoses, OH differs from traditional approaches to animal-borne infectious risks, because it also aims to promote the health of animals and ecological systems. Despite the widespread adoption of OH, culling remains a key component of institutional responses to the risks of zoonoses. Using the threats posed by highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses to human and animal health, economic activity and food security as a case exemplar, we explore whether culling and other standard control measures for animal-borne infectious disease might be justified as part of OH approaches. Our central premise is that OH requires us to reformulate 'health' as universal good that is best shared across species boundaries such that human health and well-being are contingent upon identifying and meeting the relevant sets of human and non-human interests and shared dependencies. Our purpose is to further nascent discussions about the ethical dimensions of OH and begin to describe the principles around which a public health agenda that truly seeks to co-promote human and non-human health could potentially begin to be implemented.
