CRP 4.3 Prevention and control of Agriculture Associated Diseases Delia Grace Presentation at CRP4 PMC meeting February 17th 2012
CRP 4.3: AAD • Food-borne disease • Zoonoses & emerging infectious disease • Other health risks in agro-ecosystems
Zoonoses & EID • Most diseases (>60%) are zoonotic • 7% of total burden, 17% of infectious disease burden in LDC are zoonotic or recently emerged • 4% of total burden 10% of IDB in LDC is zoonoses • One new disease is emerging every 4 months • 75% of EIDs are zoonotic
Other health risks of agro-ecosystems • Water associated disease • Malaria, schistosomiasis, cryptosporidiosis • Occupational hazards • Pesticides, trauma, allergies • Drug resistance • Antibiotics, insecticides, trypanocides • Health regulation by ecosystems
Systems understanding & prioritisation Numbers of global deaths each year from selected causes in the early 21st century
Integrated & action-oriented health risk and economic assessment benefits and costs of animal brucellosis mass vaccination in Mongolia

Key outputs 2012 • Systems understanding & prioritisation • Global maps of zoonoses hotspots • Method for assessing FS & zoonoses as part of rapid whole value chain assessment • Platform for high through-put pathogen detection (E. Africa) • Platform for mycotoxin diagnosis (E. Africa)
Integrated health risk and socioeconomic assessment (action-oriented) • Conceptual framework & methods • Gender strategy for integrated assessment • Plan for data collection in case studies • Mycotoxins in Kenya dairy chain • Food-borne disease in pork value chain, Vietnam • 4 zoonoses in Africa (RVF, tryps, Lassa, Henipa)
Epidemiology, drivers, risk factors • Set up cohort study to understand presence & impact of pig disease • More evidence on disease movement between people, animals, environment • Evidence: can improving health of poor peoples’ animals lower zoonosis risk? • Lateral flow test for cysticercosis disseminated • Discovery of new virus with zoonotic potential in African pigs published • RVF modelling platform • Special edition on urban zoonoses – 2 papers on gender & zoonoses
Disease surveillance, control, risk management, technologies • Experimental evaluation of PDS • Stakeholder-led scenarios for estimating added value of OH for RVF control • RIU of RVF decision support tool • Informal market food safety learnings, 25 studies in SSA; accompanying PRA course & manual • Showcasing of 8 Ecohealth studies in Kunming • Evidence on ineffectiveness of HPAI response & vaccination for backyard poultry
Policy engagement, stakeholder awareness, communication • Improving policy environment for smallholder dairy in EA • Food Safety units linked to SADEC, ECOWAS, EAC • Generating evidence for ‘third way’ dairy development in India • Engagement One Health: Bellagio, Chatham House, Davos, Ecohealth, Stone Mountain • Journal articles, conferences (ISVEE), books • Websites, blogs, press release
Capacity strengthening • internal • Interns, graduate fellows, young scientists • Gender in CRP 4.3 explored • external • NARS & local universities (curriculum development) • PE training for SSA • Frontline disease control staff in SE Asia • Manuals, courses – Ecohealth, Participatory Risk Analysis, urban zoonoses
Work in progress • Linkages with other centres within components • Communities of practice • Cross cutting issues (standards, gender, diagnostic platforms.. • TOR for components • Transition from core to CRP • M&E, reporting, output to impact
