By integrating One Health principles and cross-sector data sharing, the food safety community can move from reactive outbreak response to proactive biological domain awareness
This article discusses an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) for biosurveillance, with the aim of ensuring food safety as part of a food defense program. ISACs collect, analyze, and disseminate actionable threat information to their industry members and provide members with tools to mitigate risks and enhance resiliency.
This article discusses biosurveillance intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance for food processors, from a system design and operation standpoint.
In light of the global Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) outbreak, and considering the virus’ spread from poultry to dairy cows in North America, FAO has published recommendations for monitoring for HPAI H5N1 in cattle.
A recent study suggests that global control measures for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 infection in poultry and dairy cattle are insufficient. Gaps in control measures exist, including resistance to modern vaccines and surveillance technologies.
Companies will need to think more strategically about how food safety assurance messaging must be made complimentary to traditional food safety practices
U.S. federal, state, and local public health agencies authorities are currently investigating an ongoing outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), or "avian flu," among dairy herds nationwide. This article advocates the need for new technologies to address current and future food safety needs.
A Biosurveillance Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (BISR) system would address two mission-critical requirements for biosurveillance to detect and prevent outbreaks: rapid detection and predictive analysis.
