Item Agriculture-associated diseases : adapting; agriculture to improve human health(2011) McDermott, John; Grace, DeliaThis brief examines the range of agriculture-associated diseases to discover commonalities that can be leveraged to achieve better health outcomes. A typology of four categories frames the discussion, ranking them by overall impact on human health as measured in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs): Zoonoses and emerging infectious disease; Food-associated disease; Water-associated disease; and Occupational disease and drug resistance. Integrated approaches offer a broad framework for addressing complex disease. Bringing together key elements of human, animal, and ecosystem health, they address the social, economic, and political determinants of health. New approaches require new ways of working and institutional arrangements.Item Agua y su problemática integrada : el caso del municipio de Junín, PCIA. de Buenos Aires(Centro de Estudios Ambientales, Buenos Aires, AR, 2001) Centro de Estudios Ambientales; Secretariado de Manejo del Medio Ambiente para América Latina y el CaribeItem AMESH : a new approach to environmental health(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2000) Shore, K.The article provides a glimpse into work done by researchers in the field of ecohealth. The Adaptive Methodology for Ecosystem Sustainability and Health (AMESH) helps development researchers cope with complexity. AMESH builds on a wide range of practice and theory borrowed from systems theory, ecosystem management, health, development, and participatory action research. Rather than relying on a fixed, linear checklist, the methodology employs a set of branched and nested questions. Researcher David Waltner-Toews of the University of Guelph is the focus of this article and the approach to environmental health.Item AMESH : une nouvelle approche de la santé environnementale(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2000)Item Analyse de modalités d'adaptation aux effets sur la santé des changements climatiques : cas de la leishaniose cutanée zoonotique à leishmania major; rapport final(Agence Tunisienne de Coopération Technique (ACTC), Tunis, TN, 2012) Khouni Chahed, MohamedItem Analysis of the farmer's behaviors and the risk of exposure to the vector of Zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in Tunisia(2010) Nouiri, Issam; Ghrab, Jamila; Daaboub, Jaber; Chahed, Mohamed KouniThe research shows that behaviour of farmers in relation to irrigation is imposed by the nature of the agricultural activity, by the hydraulic system, and by the method of irrigation. A mathematical model is used to calculate risk of exposure to Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ZCL). Farmers in the El Hichria (Tunisia) irrigated perimeter (IP) use water distributed by surface canals. In the Ouled Mhamed IP, underground pressurized water pipes bring water to irrigation terminals. The farmers are exposed to the risk of contact with the Phlebotomus papatasi, a vector of ZCL, of 0.25 on a scale of 1, associated with irrigation.Item Apoyo al encuentro HEMA - MiSAmA 2005 : participación de la sociedad civil; informe final(2005) Zaballa, Carlos EduardoItem Arroyo Malvín para la ciudad ... : proyecto "Generación de un sistema de información geográfica y propuesta de gestión territorial para la cuenca del Arroyo Malvín"(Universidad de la República, Montevideo, UY, 2000) Universidad de la República, Facultad de Ciencias; González Gervasio, Alvaro; Céspedes, Carlos; Fernández, Gabriela; Fernández, Virginia; Resnichenko, YuriItem ASEAN+3 Health Ministers Special Meeting on Influenza A(H1N1) : joint ministerial statement, 8 May 2009, Bangkok, Thailand(2009) Asian Partnership on Emerging Infectious Diseases Research (APEIR)This Joint Ministerial Statement recalls Resolutions WHA58.5 and WHA59.2 of the World Health Organization, which expressed concern about the potential spread of H5N1 strain of Influenza A. It commits the countries of Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam, China, Japan and Republic of Korea to national pandemic preparedness plans.Item Asian Partnership on Emerging Infectious Disease Research (APEIR), Organizational Consolidation and Development (16 June – to 31 October 2011) : narrative report(APEIR Organizational Consolidation and Development, TH, 2011) APEIR Regional Coordinating OfficeAPEIR aims to build and strengthen their partnership, to become recognized by peers, donors and research partners as a “market leader” on Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) research, and to become self-reliant in resource mobilization. This report discusses activities carried out during the period of implementation that began in June 2010 and assesses how project objectives were achieved. Meetings, workshops and other activities are reported on.Item Assessment of research needs for public health adaptation to social, environmental and climate change impacts on vector-borne diseases in Africa : an informal expert consultation convened by the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR)(TDR/World Health Organization, Geneva, CH, 2012) World Health Organization; Thomson, Madeleine; Mantilla, Gilma; Platzer, Barbara; Willingham, Arve LeeControl strategies for vector--‐borne diseases (VBD) are a pillar of public health policies. Potential impacts of VBD-¬‐related risks reflect environmental exposure as well as social vulnerabilities, both of which are sensitive to climatic conditions. The existing evidence suggests that climate change impacts will substantially increase burdens on those populations that are already vulnerable to climate extremes, such as those of the African continent. Climate change in Africa induces multiple threats to development and the social dimensions of climate change are, therefore, increasingly highlighted on the development agenda. This is of particular significance for drylands in sub-¬‐Saharan Africa, in which water-¬‐related VBD are a significant disease burden while these areas are, at the same time, particularly poor, food insecure, ecologically fragile and socially vulnerable. The gap in knowledge about the relationships between social and economic vulnerabilities and environmental hazards linked to VBD in a context of climatic change, and the even larger gap in policy options for addressing the situation, have been identified by African ministers of health and environment, and technical experts internationally, as serious obstacles to evidence-¬‐based health policy change. Capacities need to be strengthened for generating, interpreting and using socio-¬‐ economic, environmental, meteorological and other climate information that could guide VBD prevention and control strategies and improve the ability of African countries to adapt to and reduce the effects of these changes in ways that benefit the most vulnerable populations. Trans--‐disciplinary research-¬‐for-¬‐policy frameworks for improved VBD risk management need to be developed that can sustainably improve the resilience of African populations to such VBD-¬‐related health threats under climate change conditions. An informal expert consultation was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 27-¬‐29 February 2012 to engage key stakeholders from the region in discussions to reach consensus on the most important research gaps and identify priorities in the African context for assessing impacts of interrelated social, environmental and climate changes on the relevant VBD burden of vulnerable populations as well as for developing and testing practical strategies for mitigating these impacts through adaptation.Item Avian and pandemic human influenza policy in South-East Asia : the interface between economic and public health imperatives(Oxford University Press, 2011) Pongcharoensuk, Petcharat; Adisasmito, Wiku; Sat, Le Minh; Silkavute, Pornpit; Muchlisoh, Lilis; Cong Hoat, Pham; Coker, RichardWhereas countries have adopted similar strategic policies for antiviral stockpiling in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza, their differing economic imperatives are of critical importance. While Thailand’s poultry industry is principally an export economy, Vietnam’s and Indonesia’s are for domestic consumption. The introduction of a poultry vaccination policy in Thailand would have threatened its potential to trade and have a major impact on its economy. Economic imperatives have been critically important in guiding policy formulation in the agriculture sector, however, questions arise regarding how to reconcile agricultural policy with public health policy across the region.Item Bilan lipidique chez une population rurale de la région de Settat, Maroc(Éditions Lilas, MA, 2007) Azzouzi, El MostaphaItem Bioensayos como herramienta de evaluación de la toxicidad de los efluentes industriales en Uruguay : informe final(Laboratorio Tecnológico del Uruguay, Montevideo, UY, 2002) Laboratorio de Tecnológico del Uruguay; Uruguay.
