Sejak mendalami dan menggeluti bidang epidemiologi veteriner, saya secara aktif menghadiri dan memberikan presentasi ilmiah di International Symposium on Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics (ISVEE), suatu simposium yang diselenggarakan setiap 3 tahun sekali oleh International Society on Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics, mulai dari ISVEE ke-4 sampai ke-11.
Pertama kali saya mengikuti ISVEE adalah yang ke-4 di Singapura tahun 1985, kemudian berturut-turut di Copenhagen, Denmark tahun 1988; Ottawa, Kanada tahun 1991; Nairobi, Kenya tahun 1994; Paris, Perancis tahun 1997; Brickenridge, Amerika Serikat tahun 2000; Vina del Mar, Chile tahun 2003; dan Cairns, Australia (2006).
Makalah yang dipresentasikan di ISVEE ke-4 s/d ke-9 berturut-turut adalah:

Dari pengalaman secara aktif dan terus menerus berpartisipasi dalam ISVEE, saya terpilih sebagai salah satu anggota International Committee dari International Society for Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics (ISVEE) yang pada periode tahun 1994 – 1997 berkedudukan di International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) Nairobi, Kenya.
Pada kesempatan berikutnya, saya masih terpilih sebagai anggota International Management Committee (IMC) dari ISVEE periode tahun 1997 – 2000 berkedudukan di University of Sorbone, Paris, Perancis. Untuk ketiga kalinya, saya juga masih dipercaya sebagai anggota IMC dari ISVEE periode tahun 2000 – 2003 berkedudukan di University of Davis, Colorado, Amerika Serikat.
Pada ISVEE ke-11 di Cairn, Australia, saya menjadi salah satu anggota panel diskusi dengan tema “Global Surveillance for Emerging Infectious Diseases: Where to from here?”. Bersama dengan anggota panel ahli yang lain yaitu Aileen Plant (Curtin University), Vincent Martin (FAO), Peter Daszak (Consortium for Conservation Medicine), Brian Perry (International Livestock Research Institute), and David Waltner-Toews (University of Guelph).
Tema presentasi saya dalam panel diskusi tersebut:
“Global surveillance for emerging infectious diseases: where to from here?”.
We have seen recently that Asia and Africa are the two most important regions in the world for the emergence of new diseases.
Surveillance is essential and becomes the best strategy to prevent new diseases from becoming global. The outbreaks that we know about are just ‘the tip of the iceberg’.
The whole world should share responsibility for detecting emerging diseases quickly in the countries where they start. At present, there are major barriers to achieve rapid detection and response in Asia and Africa.
The major barriers are:
1. If we are to improve surveillance in Asia and Africa, lack of money becomes the fundamental problem that most developing countries face. The money that was pledged in the Beijing meeting early this year to combat avian flu came to a total of USD 1.9 billion for all the countries in Asia affected by the disease. In fact, only a small proportion of those funds has been allocated so far and very little of that goes to surveillance.
2. Prompt detection requires information to quickly reach policy makers. Decentralization of authority in Asian countries is undermining the capacity of those countries to carry out an effective surveillance and disease reporting program.
3. If we are to enhance surveillance in Asia and Africa, we need to have much stronger cooperation between different government agencies and between government and the private sector. This is not yet happening in practical ways.
