Approaches to controlling, preventing and eliminating H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza in endemic countries FAO Animal Production and Health Series, Vol. 171
Langue : Anglais
At its peak in 2006, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)
caused by viruses of the H5N1 subtype was reported in over 60
countries. Since then, most affected countries have eliminated the
disease.
However, the virus has remained entrenched in some countries that
continue to be endemic for the disease. As the virus is unlikely to be
eliminated from poultry for some time, the risk of emergence of a human
pandemic strain from an avian virus will persist and will need
management.
New innovative measures for the control and prevention of H5N1 HPAI and
other influenza viruses include: better vaccines that can be
delivered easily to poultry production sectors, methods of
developing virus resistance in poultry through genetic manipulation
and selection, and universal influenza vaccines for humans that
protect against different influenza virus subtypes.
