Abstract
In the era of globalization, internationalized representations of infectious disease threats have profound implications for understandings of infectious disease problems and their management in developing countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. By examining the policy implications of the key narratives around public health, animal health and trade, it becomes possible to clarify the relationship between global understandings of infectious disease risk and their impact on the development of local responses to disease problems. We highlight the tensions that resource-constrained countries face in the nexus of animal health-public health and trade, including the perception that resource-constrained countries are both source and victims of potential infectious disease threats. Given this scenario, it is important to think about how developing countries, particularly those in Sub-Saharan Africa, can approach infectious disease risk management as it relates to pandemic scale threats such as avian and pandemic influenza. We outline some of the key considerations in defining and assessing disease risk using avian and pandemic influenza in Zambia as an example. We conclude that the key to the feasibility of the analysis of the risk of multi-sectoral affecting emerging infectious diseases such as zoonotic avian influenza is flexibility in how risk is framed across the public health, animal health and trade systems.

This is based on the FAO poultry classification system in which Sector 1 represent integrated poultry production systems characterized the use of standard operating procedures, high level biosecurity and commercial marketing of birds and their products. Sector 2 production is systems also commercially focused, in which moderate to high biosecurity is practiced. Ideally, poultry are kept indoors continuously, thus preventing contact with other poultry or wildlife. Sector 3 production systems are understood to mean low to minimal biosecurity production with birds and products entering live bird markets. Examples include caged layer farming with birds in open sheds, farms with free ranging poultry or farms producing chickens and waterfowl such as ducks. Sector 4 are systems of production in which there is minimal biosecurity and chickens and their products are consumed locally. FAO Avian Influenza Fact Sheet.

According to Millstone (2007), the term comes from the red cover of a seminal report produced in 1983 by the National Research Council in the US. This report presented a version of inverted decisionism or technocratic model that is very similar to the OIE risk analysis framework.
