In 2022, the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) approached INGSA-Asia to co-organise a series of invitation-only workshops to explore ways to help prevent and mitigate the consequences of the zoonotic spillover originating in the live animal supply chainthat involve the overlap between wildlife, other animal species, and humans.

INGSA-Asia & NASEM Guidebook on Countering Zoonotic Spillover

Countering Zoonotic Spillover of High-Consequence Pathogens in Southeast Asia

The Guidebook is available now, FIND OUT MORE.

Summary: The Guidebook is the primary outcome of the project and has synthesised regional and international best practice into a resource that can be used to underpin and adapt education, professional development and policy advisory material for specific regions and contexts.

Implementation Phase in 2024: Regional partners will work with the project team to initiate local or regional workshops or events to help disseminate the findings across the whole live animal supply chain. Follow us to get more updates!

Workshop Reports Available

In 2022 and 2023, INGSA-Asia and NASEM ran five expert workshops to synthesise best practice in the field of zoonotic transmission. These featured leading researchers from around world and across southeast Asia.
