“同一个健康”流行病防范办法的一个关键组成部分是提高对新出现的传染病、预防和减少风险的认识和增加知识。然而，相关研究可能涉及对生物安全和生物安保的重大风险。为此目的，我们组织了一个多学科生物安全实践讲习班，以宣传和增加关于传染病和减轻风险的知识。本研究旨在描述尼日利亚一个多学科和多专业小组使用“同一个健康”方法的实践生物安全培训计划的过程和结果。西非新发传染病中心作为尼日利亚项目地点的牵头机构，在乔斯大学教学医院为48名参与者组织了一次面对面的实践培训。涵盖的主题包括：(1)WAC-EID研究概述；(2)感染防控概况；（三）动物处理、约束、样本采集和加工的安全；(4)实地研究的安全性，包括处理啮齿动物、鸟类和蝙蝠；(5)收集蚊虫和其他节肢动物媒介的安全措施；(6)个人防护装备培训（消毒、穿戴、脱布）；(7)样品采集、标签和运输的安全。该计划采用幻灯片演示、实际操作会议和视频演示的混合方法执行。采用课程前、课程后评价和评价方法对培训进行评价。本次培训共有48名学员参加，其中鸟类组12人（25%），昆虫组16人（33.3%），哺乳类组14人（29.2%），临床兴趣组6人（12.5%）。前测通过率为29.4%，后测通过率为57.1%，提高了28%。88.6%的学员认为培训与自己相关。在这个人畜共患流行病和大流行防范的时代，教学和实践生物安全培训是相关的。在这个培训项目中，有一个清晰的例子表明，知识转移可以改变参与者目前的做法，提高传染病研究的安全性。
One of the key components of the One Health approach to epidemic preparedness is raising awareness and increasing the knowledge of emerging infectious diseases, prevention, and risk reduction. However, related research can involve significant risks to biosafety and biosecurity. For this purpose, we organized a multidisciplinary biosafety hands-on workshop to inform and increase the knowledge of infectious diseases and risk mitigation. This study aimed to describe the process and outcome of a hands-on biosafety training program using a One Health approach across a multidisciplinary and multi-specialty group in Nigeria. A face-to-face hands-on training for 48 participants was organized by the West African Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases (WAC-EID) at the Jos University Teaching Hospital, serving as a lead institution for the Nigeria project site. Topics covered included (1) an overview of the WAC-EID research; (2) overview of infection prevention and control; (3) safety in animal handling and restraint, sample collection, and processing; (4) safety in field studies including rodent, bird and bat handling; (5) safety practices in the collection of mosquito and other arthropod vectors; (6) personal protective equipment training (disinfection, donning and doffing); and (7) safety in sample collection, labeling, and transportation. The program was executed using a mixed method of slide presentations, practical hands-on sessions, and video demonstrations. Pre- and post-course evaluation assessments and evaluation measures were used to assess training. A total of 48 trainees participated in this training, with 12 (25%), 16 (33.3%), 14 (29.2%), 6 (12.5%) categorized as ornithology, entomology, mammalogy, and clinical interest groups, respectively. The pass rate for the pre-test was 29.4%, while for the post-test, it was 57.1%, or a 28% improvement. 88.6% of the trainees rated the training as relevant to them. Didactic and hands-on biosafety training is relevant in this era of zoonotic epidemics and pandemic preparedness. During this training program, there was a clear demonstration of knowledge transfer that can change the current practices of participants and improve the safety of infectious diseases research.
