-A number of international intergovernmental organisations rely on epidemiologic principles in the investigation of health and disease in animal and human populations. These are predominantly associated with the control of animal and human health, in the context of international trade. The ''Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures'' (the '''[http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/sps_e/sps_e.htm SPS agreement]'''), was developed by the ''World Trade Organisation'' ('''[http://www.wto.org/ WTO]''') in 1995 in order to encourage global trade and to protect against the instigation of unreasonable trade barriers, whilst still protecting against the spread of human, animal and plant disease. Three groups are associated with this agreement: the ''World Organisation for Animal Health'' ('''[http://www.oie.int OIE]'''), the ''Codex Alimentarius Commission'' ('''[http://www.codexalimentarius.net/ CAC]''') of the ''Food and Agricultural Organisation'' of the United Nations ('''[http://www.fao.org/ FAO]'''), and the International Plant Protection Convention ('''[https://www.ippc.int/ IPPC]'''), also of the FAO.<br>
