La influenza aviar en la interfaz humano-animal
FAO-OIE-WHO Joint Technical ConsultationVerona, Italy, 7-9 October 2008 |
Presentations from the technical consultation called by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO), with support from the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie (IZSVe) and the EC-funded FLUTRAIN project, to:
 |
identify critical virological characteristics for the emergence of zoonotic and pandemic viruses |
 |
evaluate external factors affecting the evolution and emergence of a pandemic strain, and identify monitoring mechanisms for pandemic strain emergence |
 |
identify likely modes of transmission and exposure sources for zoonotic infection with avian influenza viruses |
 |
maximise outcome of ongoing research and preparedness efforts, and identify gaps in knowledge |
 |
identify next steps for further integrated data collection, analysis and research |
