Research Priorities for Zoonoses and Marginalized Infections
Author: TDR Disease Reference Group on Zoonoses and Marginalized Infectious Diseases of Poverty
Publisher: WHO Technical Report
ISBN: 9789241209717
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This report provides a review and analysis of the research landscape for zoonoses and marginalized infections which affect poor populations, and a list of research priorities to support disease control. The work is the output of the disease reference group on zoonoses and marginalized infectious diseases (DRG6), which is part of an independent think tank of international experts, established and funded by the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), to identify key research priorities through the review of research evidence and input from stakeholder consultations. The report covers a diverse range of diseases including zoonotic helminth protozoa, viral and bacterial infections considered to be neglected and associated with poverty. Disease-specific research issues were elaborated under individual disease sections and many common priorities were readily identified among the disease such as need for new and/or improved drugs and regimens, diagnostics and, where appropriate, vaccines. The disease specific priorities are described as micro priorities compared with the macro level priorities which will drive such policies as the need for improved surveillance; the need for inter-sectoral interaction between health, livestock, agriculture, natural resources and wildlife in tackling the zoonotic diseases; and the need for a true assessment of the burden of the zoonoses. This is one of ten disease and thematic reference group reports that have come out of the TDR Think Tank, all of which have contributed to the development of the Global Report for Research on Infectious Diseases of Poverty.

Control of Foodborne Trematode Infections
Author: World Health Organization
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Draws attention to the serious and growing public health problem posed by foodborne trematode infections. These infections, which affect an estimated 40 million persons, are linked to several serious diseases, including cholangiocarcinoma in Opisthorchis infections, cholangiocarcinoma and gall stone in Clonorchis infection, and severe clinical liver disease in Fasciola infection. Infection is acquired via the consumption of raw or inadequately processed freshwater fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants. Awareness of the magnitude of suffering and disease caused by foodborne trematode infections has increased dramatically following recent changes in Eastern Europe, where millions of people are now known to be infected with Opisthorchis and where cholangiocarcinoma is the leading cause of hepatic cancer. The misdiagnosis of tuberculosis in persons suffering from paragonimiasis poses yet another public health problem of growing concern. The book, which has three parts, aims to assemble all the practical and technical information needed to develop effective strategies for control. The first part presents basic information about foodborne trematode infections, their modes of transmission, and the methods available for control. Also included is the first detailed analysis of the geographical distribution of foodborne trematode infections. The second part provides a state-of-the-art review of what is known about the clinical features of these diseases, patterns of morbidity and mortality, the parasites, and their intermediate snail hosts. The final part summarizes country experiences in the epidemiology and control of foodborne trematode infections.

Mitigation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Livestock Production
Author: Pierre J. Gerber
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO)
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The current analysis was conducted to evaluate the potential of nutritional, manure and animal husbandry practices for mitigating methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) - i.e. non-carbon dioxide (CO2) - GHG emissions from livestock production. These practices were categorized into enteric CH4, manure management and animal husbandry mitigation practices. Emphasis was placed on enteric CH4 mitigation practices for ruminant animals (only in vivo studies were considered) and manure mitigation practices for both ruminant and monogastric species. Over 900 references were reviewed; simulation and life cycle assessment analyses were generally excluded
