FAO/WHO/OIE Guidelines for the surveillance, management, prevention and control of Trichinellosis
Trichinellosis is a parasitic disease that in the past has not always been recognised for its importance. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that greater priority should be given to this zoonosis because of its health and economic impact, particularly in resource-poor countries. It is now also recognised as a re-emergent problem in Latin America, eastern Europe and Asia. As is the case for all zoonoses, the control of trichinellosis requires the very close collaboration between b oth Veterinary and Medical public health Services at a national level. It was with the aim of assisting those responsible for trichinellosis control and prevention that these Guidelines were prepared and jointly published by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). This joint publication is a reflection of the importance the three organisations place on working together to assist their Member Co untries in designing, implementing and standardising control strategies against zoonoses on both national and international levels. These Guidelines are an example of the outcome of the long-term collaboration by FAO, WHO and OIE to educate and organise the surveillance and control of parasitic diseases worldwide.
