13 Improve preparedness Main goal To identify laboratory diagnostic capacities for targeted epidemic-prone diseases to determine how to increase and sustain the competencies of the participating laboratories. Partners NHLS, Johannesburg, South Africa United States CDC USAID Laboratory strengthening programme in Africa Types of pathogens plague enterics bacterial meningitis
14 Improve preparedness WHO Biosafety programme Coordination of global biosafety issues WHO Biosafety Advisory Group (BAG) 5 WHO Collaborating Centres (US (CDC, NIH), Canada, Sweden and Australia) UN model regulations Transport of infectious substances Technical assistance to Member States e.g. training (3 cohorts) Biosafety inspections Smallpox repositories laboratories (WHA May 1980)
15 International Health Regulations 1969 The purpose of the IHR is to ensure maximum security against international spread of diseases with minimum interference with world traffic and trade. 1. Notification of cases Member States are obliged to notify WHO for a single case of cholera, plague or yellow fever, occurring in humans in their territories and give further notification when the area is free from infection. Notifications are reported in WHO s WER. 2. Health-related rules for international travel and trade 3. Health organization: measures for deratting, disinfecting, and disinsecting international conveyances (ships, aircraft, etc.) are to be implemented at points of arrival and departure (ports, airports and frontier posts). 4. Health documents required
16 International Health Regulations Updating existing measures of the current IHR Proposed key changes and benefits to Member States: Expanded scope: notification for public health emergencies of international concern National core surveillance capacities Revision Real-time event management system: linked to established mechanism for response actions Support Member States with technical assistance at their request IHR national focal points
17 International Health Regulations public health emergencies of international concern could include events related to possible CBW use or threat of use. WHO needs to maintain neutrality and to focus its action on the public health component of response only. Revision: some key issues WHO has no mandate to assess the deliberate nature of an event, which would be responsibility of the UN (BW) or OPCW (CW); however, the UN could request WHO technical support in case of investigation of alleged BW use or threat of use.

26 Anthrax objective 2 Standard procedures relating to anthrax and disseminating information ANTHRAX Fact Sheet N 264 October 2001 Overview Anthrax is primarily a disease of herbivorous mammals, although other mammals and some birds have been known to contract it. Humans generally acquire the disease directly or indirectly from infected animals, or occupational exposure to infected or contaminated animal products. Control in livestock is therefore the key to reduced incidence. There are no documented cases of person to person transmission. The disease s impact on animal and human health can be devastating. WHO has produced Guidelines for the surveillance and control of anthrax in humans and animals. The causative agent of anthrax is the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis, the spores of which can survive in the environment for years or decades, awaiting uptake by the next host. The disease still exists in animals and humans in most countries of sub-sahelian Africa and Asia, in several southern European countries, in the Americas, and certain areas of Australia. Disease outbreaks in animals also occur sporadically in other countries. There are 3 types of anthrax in humans: cutaneous anthrax, acquired when a spore enters the skin through a cut or an abrasion; gastrointestinal tract anthrax, contracted from eating contaminated food, primarily meat from an animal that died of the disease; and pulmonary (inhalation) anthrax from breathing in airborne anthrax spores. The cutaneous form accounts for 95% or more of human cases globally. All 3 types of anthrax are potentially fatal if not treated promptly. Prevention Prevention of anthrax in both humans and animals is based on control measures in livestock in endemic areas, such as the safe disposal of anthrax carcasses and vaccination of at-risk herds. The most efficient method of disposal is incineration in a manner that ensures heat sterilization of the underlying soil. In practice, local conditions in many endemic countries make these simple control measures difficult to implement. In industrialized countries, prevention lies in good agricultural and industrial hygiene. Vaccines are available for animals and humans. However in humans their use should be confined to high-risk groups, such as those occupationally exposed and in some military settings. Patient isolation is not required and there are no quarantine requirements. Dressings and other contaminated materials should be disposed of, preferably by incineration. Treatment Guidance on anthrax: frequently asked questions What is anthrax? What's happening right now? Is there just one type of anthrax? How is it treated or prevented? Is there a vaccine? Can I catch it from someone else? I feel like I have a cold. Could it be anthrax? Do I have to go to a hospital to get tests? I am worried about anthrax. Should I take antibiotics just in case? What do I do if I get a suspicious package or letter? What constitutes a suspicious letter or parcel? What should I do if I receive an anthrax threat by mail? Q. What is anthrax? A. Anthrax is a disease caused by a bacterium called Bacillus anthracis. It is a disease which has existed for hundreds of years and which still occurs naturally in both animals and humans in many parts of the world, including Asia, southern Europe, sub-sahelian Africa and parts of Australia. Anthrax bacteria can survive in the environment by forming spores. In its most common natural form, it creates dark sores on the skin, from which it derives its name. Anthrax is Greek for coal. Q. What's happening right now? A. WHO posts updated situation reports whenever there is an outbreak of anthrax or any other infectious disease on its Web site. Q. Is there just one type of anthrax? A. There are three types of anthrax, each with different symptoms: Cutaneous, or skin, anthrax is the most common form. It is usually contracted when a person with a break in their skin, such as a cut or abrasion, comes into direct contact with anthrax spores. The resulting itchy bump rapidly develops into a black sore. Some people can then develop headaches, muscle aches, fever and vomiting. Cutaneous anthrax must be treated quickly. Appropriate medical evaluation and treatment are essential. Gastrointestinal anthrax is caught from eating meat from an infected animal. It causes initial symptoms similar to food poisoning but these can worsen to produce severe abdominal pain, vomiting of blood and severe diarrhoea. Appropriate medical evaluation and treatment are essential. The most severe form of human anthrax is called inhalation or pulmonary anthrax. Though the rarest, it is the form of human anthrax causing the most current concern. This form of the disease is caused when a person is directly exposed to a large number of anthrax spores suspended in the air, and breathes them in. The first symptoms are similar to those of a common cold, but this can rapidly progress to severe breathing difficulties and shock. Appropriate medical evaluation and treatment are essential.
27 Anthrax objective 3 Develop training on laboratory handling of biological agents associated with possible deliberate use Develop training materials and field test them with 4th cohort of CSR Lyon programme Training Finalize training materials, produce CD-ROM, distribute it. Implement regional or sub/intra-regional training, according to requests received
28 Anthrax objective 3 Establish an international quality control/quality assurance system with trained laboratories Establish a reagent bank of selected anthrax diagnostic materials. Quality control/ quality assurance Help to develop research for new, relevant laboratory tests Develop a restricted-access web site for laboratories: communication, ordering of reagents, and reporting of external quality assurance results
