WOAH Style Guide (English)

The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) Style Guide outlines the Organisation’s writing style rules. It must be applied to all WOAH information products – publications, communications and documents – to ensure clarity and consistency across the Organisation, including content developed for web platforms.

Use the table of contents to navigate to the relevant section of the interactive PDF. You can also use the search function to quickly find relevant information (e.g. ‘Punctuation’, ‘Oxford comma’, etc.).

For a brief overview, you can also consult the WOAH Quick Style Sheet, a condensed version of the guide.
