International Treaty Affects Microbiology Research . Popular Publication. Fall, pages 82-85. Interpretive Summary: N/A Technical Abstract: The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity impacts microbial research in the United States. The Nagoya protocol has resulted in a growing network of regulations, agreements and contracts driven by the legislation of individual countries and affects both providers and users of genetic resources. Consequences for non compliance can be significant as examples from this article illustrate. Understanding what materials are involved and how to comply to regulations are key to successfully conducting microbial research and resources are provided tin this article to inform scientists. |
