(All comments should be clearly stated, specific to the text within the proposed document, and supported by a scientific rationale.)*

Section 1

For the following 49 documents, you may comment only on the changes - The OIE shows the proposed changes as text that is double-underlined (new text) or text that has a strike-through (deleted text).

A few of the attachments (Collection and processing of laboratory rodent and rabbit embryos/ova, Anthrax and Foot and mouth disease), contain changes made during the September 2009 TAHSC meeting which are highlighted, to distinguish them from the changes made prior to the 77th OIE General Session in May 2009.
