OIE RESOLUTION No. XIX
Increase awareness among stakeholders
Transfer technology to the private sector
Facilitate in-depth studies on IPM to control
ecto- and endoparasites
Harmonise standardise protocols for
diagnosis
Prepare validate guidelines for
diagnosis/control of resistance registration
of antiparasitic drugs
Strengthen harmonise systems for
antiparasitic registration
Maintain a core of specialised staff
7
Expected Outputs

• Increased awareness by stakeholders of the
• importance of early detection and control of
  resistance
• in ecto- and endoparasites
• Trained private and public Veterinary Services in
  diagnostic
• and control of parasite resistance
  (training courses, meetings
• and collaborative publications)
• Improved ability of private/official
  practitioners and
• farmers to apply good veterinary practices
  for parasite
• control measures and prevention of meat and
  milk residues

8
Outputs...

• Pesticide registration harmonized to reduce the
  production
• of parasite resistance, residues and
  environmental imbalances
• Regional data on parasite resistance prevalence,
  and
• future risk for development of parasite
  resistance
• Reduced incidence (outbreaks) of internal
  parasites in
• small ruminants and increased animal
  production
• Identification of cost-effective and sustainable
  control
• strategies
