Strategy of OIE's Wildlife Disease Management and response of  Japanese administration offices

Abstract

There are several problems to be overcome in the 21st century. They are reduction of environmental pollution, conservation of environment and control of global warming (eco-health), and there is also a problem of food crisis and population explosion. Stable food supply (food security) to eliminate poverty and hunger is a pressing issue. If globalization has been performed, however, economic disparity and cultural differences in religion are staying as problems easily unsolved. These issues are complex and relate to each other, and as a result many infectious diseases (infection of wild animals, including domestic animals and zoonosis) will be emerged. In the 21st century, regulations of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases are the most pressing issue. OIE wildlife disease notification system is based on the strategy and tactics put this recognition. In this talk, I will introduce new projects of Japanese administration offices concerning to this OIE strategy.
