From May 25th to 30th, the 82nd International Congress of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) was held in Paris, France. On the 29th, the General Assembly passed a resolution confirming that the National Center for Animal Disease Diagnosis of the China Animal Health and Epidemiology Center was the OIE Petit Ruminant Reference Laboratory; the Institute of Zoonoses of Jilin University was OIE Asia-Pacific Foodborne Parasitic Disease Collaborative Center; China Animal Health and Epidemiology Center is the OIE Veterinary Epidemiology Collaboration Center, and assumes the role of the OIE Asia-Pacific Regional Veterinary Epidemiology and Public Health Collaboration Center with Massey University of New Zealand. Up to now, there are 12 OIE reference laboratories and 3 OIE collaboration centers in China.
Zhang Zhongqiu, the representative of China to OIE and the director of the Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that at this conference, another batch of veterinary laboratories in China were recognized as OIE collaboration centers or reference laboratories, which shows that our veterinary science and technology capabilities and level have reached international advanced levels. The Ministry of Agriculture will actively support relevant units to perform the duties of the collaboration center and reference laboratory in accordance with the OIE working rules, promote the participation of domestic veterinary scientific research institutions in international exchanges and cooperation, promote the integration of China's veterinary laboratory work with international standards, and enhance China's right to speak in international veterinary affairs. .
According to OIE rules, a region only recognizes a collaboration center for a specific area. The OIE Collaboration Center and Reference Laboratory are technical support institutions for the development and revision of international animal health, veterinary public health, and animal product trade standards. They have authority and dominance in the development of standards and rules for international animal disease prevention and control and animal product safety.
