Book (series)Chinese-origin H7N9 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The ability of the H7N9 HPAI virus to infect both humans and poultry raises concern about a possible influenza pandemic and international spread either due to poultry or through wild birds. With the aim to provide sound and up-to-date scientific information for decision-makers globally, a qualitative risk assessment was conducted addressing the potential spread of H7N9 HPAI to unaffected provinces of China, other countries in South-East Asia and beyond during the period May to September 2017, as well as human exposure in affected areas of China where H7N9 HPAI has been reported. Several pathways of virus incursion were considered. Risk assessment is a powerful tool for supporting decision makers and national veterinary authorities to take scientifically sound decision based on the risk-levels assigned. Consequences of H7N9 HPAI can impact livelihoods, food security and poverty in rural areas, extended to all actors involved in poultry value chains. The impact is exacerbated by the pub lic health risk related to this zoonotic virus. -
Book (series)Addressing H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza 2016
Also available in:
Following H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in the Republic of Cameroon in May and September 2016, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) prepared a qualitative assessment in order to evaluate the risks of the introduction of the virus into neighbouring countries with Cameroon that have so far not reported occurrence of the disease through poultry movements and trade relations (i.e. the Central African Republic, the Republic of Chad, the Republic of the Congo, the Republic of Equatorial Guinea and the Gabonese Republic). The Federal Republic of Nigeria has been affected by H5N1 HPAI outbreaks in poultry since December 2014 and circulation of the virus is considered to be endemic. Though bordering Cameroon, Nigeria was, therefore, not included in the assessment given that the virus is already present there. The qualitative assessment is based on information available as of 15 September 2016 and will be revised as circumstances change. The reader should also note that the uncertainty in the assessment of the different levels of likelihood remains high, since there is need for a better understanding of the poultry sector at local, national and regional levels as well as poultry movement patterns and related issues to provide a more precise assessment. -
DocumentUtilisation rationnelle de la vaccination pour la prévention et le contrôle de l’influenza aviaire hautement pathogène H5 2016
Also available in:
La vaccination peut jouer un rôle précieux dans le contrôle, la prévention et l'élimination des virus hautement pathogènes de l'influenza aviaire (IAHP) chez les volailles. Cependant, le risque de conséquences néfastes ainsi que des préoccupations concernant la disponibilité de ressources suffisantes pour mener des programmes de vaccination empêchent souvent les pays de se lancer dans la vaccination. Le présent document traite des préoccupations concernant la vaccination de la volaille pour la g rippe aviaire H5, dans le but de faciliter la prise de décisions dans les pays touchés ou à risque d'incursion d'HPAI H5. Le document contribue à l'objectif stratégique 5 de la FAO en aidant à accroître la résilience des moyens de subsistance face aux risques liés à l'IAHP. -
