Traduction de «Agente de biosécurité » (Français → Anglais) :

(a) take appropriate biosecurity, biosafety and bio-containment measures to prevent the escape of the disease agents and their subsequent contact with animals outside the laboratory or other facility handling disease agents for the purpose of research;

7. Stresses that more efforts are needed to control the use of antimicrobials in human and veterinary medicine; strongly disapproves of the regular prophylactic use of antimicrobials in animal husbandry; endorses the Council conclusions of 22 June 2012 which call on the Member States to limit the prophylactic use of antimicrobials to cases with defined clinical needs and to limit the prescription and use of antimicrobials for herd treatment of animals to cases where a veterinarian has assessed that there is a clear clinical and, where appropriate, epidemiological justification to treat all animals; stresses that livestock farming and aquaculture should focus on disease prevention through good hygiene, housing and animal husbandry, as well as throu ...[+++]gh strict bio-security measures, rather than through the prophylactic use of antimicrobials; believes that controls on food imports from non-Member States should be enhanced, in particular in light of the risk that such imports contain irregular traces of antimicrobials;

(48) To avoid the release of disease agents from laboratories, institutes and other facilities handling diseases agents it is vital that they take appropriate biosecurity, biosafety and bio-containment measures.

(c) apply appropriate biosecurity measures to prevent the spreading of that listed disease agent to other animals or to humans;

Improved animal health and biosecurity measures as well as promotion of Good Farming Practices avoid infections and therefore contribute to the reduction of the use antimicrobials in animals including aquaculture ("prevention is better than cure") and consequently of the development of AMR in animal pathogens and zoonotic agents.

This responsibility lies with the animal owners, including hobby farmers. However, as some contagious pathogens may easily spread from one farm to another a collective approach must be taken in addressing prevention and biosecurity measures.
