Dr. Wendy Warren-Serna of Food Safety Net Services participated in the International Forum for Transmissible Animal Diseases and Food Safety (TAFS) Workshop on Paratuberculosis/MaP in Unterägeri, Switzerland in November.
More than 35 industry experts from around the world gathered for the workshop in order to produce a database of information related to control measures for bovine Paratuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (MaP) both at the animal (farm) and animal product (food) level.
The TAFS Forum is a non-profit Swiss foundation that began in 2002 as the International Forum for Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) and Food Safety, in response to the urgent need to address the BSE/TSE issue. In 2006 TAFS extended its scope to include other transmissible animal disease, such as avian influenza and Paratuberculosis, and the risks they may pose to food safety.
TAFS’ next conference, entitled “Fix it before it Breaks: Managing a Crisis Before it Happens,” will take place June 4-6, 2008 in San Antonio.
