Discussion Dr. Mohammadreza Razailashkajani Research Center for Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases Shaheed Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Panel: Dr. Keene, Professor Mohraz, Dr. Gooya, Dr. Nadim, and Dr. Ardalan Professor Minoo Mohraz, the president of the Iranian Association of Infec- tious Diseases, urged that Iranian clinicians and scientists working in the fields relevant to foodborne disease grasp opportunities like this workshop to benefit from the experiences of their American colleagues. She also expressed her con- cerns about the increase of zoonoses in Iran that could be controlled by stricter food safety measures. Responding to a question from an Iranian attendee on ways to improve reporting of foodborne disease in Iran, Dr. Keene mentioned that laboratory and physician monitoring systems should be developed in Iran. He stressed that these systems should be well funded and supported by the government in order to be successful. Dr. Keene also addressed the question of how state governments in the United States send surveillance reports and data on foodborne disease to the federal government. The final point was from Dr. Ardalan on the challenges faced by a new food surveillance system in integrating it into the established public health sector. 51

In October 2004 the Research Center for Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases of Shaheed Beheshti University hosted in Tehran an Iranian-American workshop on Food Safety and Surveillance Systems for Foodborne Diseases. The purposes of the workshop were to initiate contacts between Iranian and American specialists, exchange information about relevant activities in the two countries, and set the stage for future cooperation in the field. The participants also identified important aspects of food safety that should be addressed more intensively by both countries, including surveillance, research, international trade, and risk assessment. The framework for the workshop had been developed during a meeting of Iranian and American specialists in June 2003 in Les Treilles, France. More that 100 specialists participated in the workshop in their personal capacities, along with representatives of the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization. These proceedings include a number of papers that were presented at the workshop together with summaries of discussions following presentation of the papers.
