Abstract

Introduction: Emerging infectious diseases pose a threat to public health and the economy, especially in developing countries. Southeast Asian veterinary laboratories handle numerous high-risk pathogens, making pathogen accountability crucial for safe handling and storage. Methods: Thirteen veterinary laboratories in Cambodia (n = 1), Lao People's Democratic Republic (n = 1), and Thailand (n = 11) participated in a study conducted between 2019 and 2020. Data were collected using a questionnaire, group discussions, and interviews. Conclusion: Significant gaps in biosecurity and biorepository management were recognized and discussed in the context of regional biosafety and biosecurity. Laboratories could use the findings and recommendations of the study to develop or improve their pathogen inventory and biosecurity systems. Governments play a significant role in setting standards and regulations and providing necessary support for laboratories to maintain inventory controls sustainably and have a very important role to play in ensuring biosafety and biosecurity compliance.

东南亚实施和维护高后果兽医和单一卫生病原体生物储存库的重要性和挑战

新出现的传染病对公共卫生和经济构成威胁，特别是在发展中国家。东南亚兽医实验室处理大量高风险病原体，因此病原体问责制对安全处理和储存至关重要。方法:2019 - 2020年，柬埔寨(n = 1)、老挝人民民主共和国(n = 1)和泰国(n = 11)的13个兽医实验室参与了研究。通过问卷调查、小组讨论和访谈收集数据。结论:在区域生物安全和生物安全的背景下，认识并讨论了生物安全和生物库管理方面的重大差距。实验室可以利用这项研究的发现和建议来发展或改进其病原体清单和生物安全系统。政府在制定标准和条例以及为实验室提供必要支持以可持续地维持库存控制方面发挥重要作用，并在确保生物安全和遵守生物安全方面发挥非常重要的作用。
