In the cycle of dealing with emergencies one can distinguish four periods, that is planning, diagnosing, responding and recovering. Contingency planning is a prerequisite for emergency management in general. The principles of this planning, for Veterinary Public Health (VPH), does not differ from other cases. However, here will be seen from the point of view of VPH. VPH emergencies include zoonotic diseases and food safety aspects. Emergencies in VPH appear suddenly or expand gradually. Need to define responsibilities for proclaiming an emergency by rating the severity and ranking the situation in steps before deciding that an emergency is in place. One can suggest that surveillance is significant in relation to zoonotic diseases. In food safety, preventative Food Safety Management Systems, in which crisis management and consequent possible product recall actions are part of it, serve the same purpose. In both activities VPH is related with other professionals, a reality expressed, also, in government administrations with different services and/or agencies. Therefore, partnerships and interoperability between veterinarians and physicians on the one hand and other food professionals on the other should be established, for the purpose of efficiently serving the general public. These actions should be developed, as appropriate, in business, region or country level. In order to effectively mobilise the appropriate personnel training and simulation exercises should be part of preparedness. In preparedness, planning for early warning and early reaction should be considered as part of the overall contingency planning. In the various steps in dealing with emergencies the key tool for decision making is risk analysis, served through its three components, that is risk assessment, risk management and risk communication. This last one is very important in relation to communicating with the general public, so that a balanced informing will allow for general public diligent actions without panic.

The cross-border trade cattle, involve the movement of several thousands of animals with the risk of introduction of zoonotic diseases and vector borne-diseases between the countries. It was during a trade transaction that a kuri beef (Bos Taurus) coming from the lake chad area in order to cover the needs in meat of the populations of Gabon has introduced Hyalomma impeltatum an anthropophilic tick. The risk of introduction in Gabon of pathogens such as the arbovirus Sindbis and Dhori; the virus of Crimea-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Rickettsia africae as well as Rickettsia aeschilmannii is a real threat for public health. The treatment of cattle with effective acaricides at the frontier before entering to Gabon can prevent the introduction of ticks and tick borne diseases.

Zoonoses are diseases and infections that are naturally transmissible between vertebrate animals and man. Zoonoses may be categorized as emerging, reemerging and neglected zoonotic diseases which are widely prevalent and pose a great threat throughout the world including Bangladesh. Veterinary public health is a component of public health activities devoted to the application of professional veterinary skills, knowledge, and resources for the protection and improvement of public health. Many veterinarians are less aware of the importance of zoonoses than is desirable and medical clinicians who encounter zoonoses in human patients may either fail to recognize them or concentrate on treating the individual patient rather than disease control. This situation may be worsened where there is insufficient communication between veterinarians, the various health care professionals and public health organizations. However, the collaborative efforts between physicians and veterinarians in communication, sharing public health knowledge and research settings could do much to improve human and animal health. Much can be done by education, and in particular by increasing the awareness of different health professionals, and facilitating communication and collaboration between veterinary, public health and agricultural personnel. This will help us to approach and control zoonotic diseases in as ef?cient and effective a way as possible.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjvm.v12i2.21257 Bangl. J. Vet. Med. (2014). 12 (2): 93-98

This paper seeks to investigate sustainable cross-border cooperation (CBC) as a distinctive model of interstate collaboration, embedded in the neighboring borderland regions of two or more countries. The focus of the research revolves around the establishment and further development of geostrategic, economic, cultural and scientific capacity of the Ukrainian-Romanian partnership as a fundamental construct in ensuring and strengthening the stability, security and cooperation in Europe. This research highlights Ukraine’s aspirations to establish, develop and diversify bilateral good-neighborly relations with Romania both regionally and internationally. The main objective is to elucidate Ukraine-Romania cross-border cooperation initiatives, inasmuch Ukraine-Romania CBC has been stirring up considerable interest in terms of its inexhaustible historical, cultural and spiritual ties. Furthermore, the similarity of the neighboring states’ strategic orientations grounds the basis for development and enhancement of Ukraine-Romania cooperation. The authors used desk research and quantitative research to conclude that Ukraine-Romania CBC has the impact not only on the EU and on Ukraine multi-vector foreign policy, but it also has the longer-term global consequences. In the light of the current reality, the idea of introducing and reinforcing the importance of Cross-Border Cooperation (CBC) sounds quite topical and relevant. This research considers a number of explanations for Ukraine-Romania Cross-Border Cooperation as a key element of the EU policy towards its neighbors. Besides, the subject of the research is considered from different perspectives in order to show the diversity and complexity of the Ukraine-Romania relations in view of the fact that sharing common borders we are presumed to find common solutions. As the research has demonstrated, the Ukraine-Romania cross border cooperation is a pivotal factor of boosting geostrategic, economic, political and cultural development for each participant country, largely depending on the neighboring countries’ cohesion and convergence. Significantly, there is an even stronger emphasis on the fact that while sharing the same borders, the countries share common interests and aspirations for economic thriving, cultural exchange, diplomatic ties and security, guaranteed by a legal framework. The findings of this study have a number of important implications for further development and enhancement of Ukraine-Romania cooperation. Accordingly, the research shows how imperative are the benefits of Romania as a strategic partner for outlining top priorities of Ukraine’s foreign policy.
