Dangers biologiques
Le groupe scientifique sur les dangers biologiques (groupe BIOHAZ) formule des avis scientifiques sur les dangers biologiques en relation avec la sécurité des aliments et les toxi-infections alimentaires. Cela couvre les maladies animales transmissibles à l'homme, les encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles, la microbiologie alimentaire, l'hygiène alimentaire et les questions connexes de gestion des déchets.
Les membres du groupe BIOHAZ sont des scientifiques provenant de toute l'Europe et possédant des compétences spécialisées en :
- Épidémiologie des zoonoses d'origine alimentaire (Salmonella, Campylobacter, etc.)
- Résistance aux antimicrobiens
- Traitement des sous-produits animaux
- Virus d'origine alimentaire
- Inspection des viandes pour toutes les espèces productrices d'aliments
- Hygiène et microbiologie alimentaire
- Critères microbiologiques
- Risques biologiques associés aux produits composites et aux produits frais
- Décontamination des carcasses de viande (traitements antimicrobiens)
- Évaluation quantitative des risques microbiologiques
- Encéphalopathies spongiformes transmissibles (épidémiologie, pathologie, diagnostic, évaluation de l'exposition)

Plenary meetings
Networks
What are EFSA's networks?
EFSA’s networks consist of nationally appointed EU Member State organisations with expertise in the fields covered by the network. Representatives of the Commission and of other organisations (including those from outside the EU) with specific expertise may also be invited to participate in the work of EFSA Networks.
Networks are chaired by EFSA and supported by relevant EFSA units. Their aim is to facilitate scientific cooperation in the field of EFSA’s mission by:
- coordinating activities,
- exchanging information,
- developing and implementing joint projects,
- and exchanging expertise and best practices.
- Decision concerning the establishment and operation of European Networks of scientific organisations operating in the fields within the Authority’s mission(35.46 KB)
BSE-TSE
Set up to strengthen the scientific cooperation on BSE-TSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies) issues, reduce the duplication of activities and hence avoid divergence of opinion.
