(access to) Veterinary laboratory diagnosis
- Revised in 2012 (introducing 1.A and 1.B)
- The authority and capability of the VS
(to have access to laboratory diagnosis in order)
to identify and record pathogenic agents, including those relevant for public health, that can adversely affect animals and animal products.
- Five (5) levels of advancement (LoA)
- CC. II. 1. (A)

Laboratory quality assurance
- Introduced in 2008
- The quality of laboratories (that conduct
diagnostic testing or analysis for chemical residues, antimicrobial residues, toxins,
- r tests for, biological efficacy, etc.) as
measured by the use of formal QA systems including, but not limited to, participation in relevant proficiency testing programmes.
- CC. II. 2.

UNSCR 1540 : Why Africa : Ebola crisis
- II. 1. (access to) Veterinary laboratory diagnosis
For major zoonoses and diseases of national economic importance, the VS have access to and use a laboratory to
- btain a correct diagnosis.

Conclusions
World Organisation for Animal Health · Protecting animals, Preserving our future | 42
The challenges
- Many diseases of relevance to biological
threats are widespread on the continent;
- Rapidly changing environmental, political and
economic environment, emergence of new diseases and of terrorism;
- Laboratories in many countries don’t keep
pace with these changes and lag behind in quality assurance, including proper biosafety and biosecurity.
Africa
World Organisation for Animal Health · Protecting animals, Preserving our future | 43
The response
- Many OIE and FAO (and joint FAO-IAEA)
tools are available to help;
- UNSCR 1540 and the African Union
Commission are available to help;
- Many veterinary laboratory managers in
Africa need to become aware of the risks and set-up containment plans and security plans, including appropriate BSL infrastructures and stringent access control.
