These Regulations transpose, in relation to England, Council Directive /94/EC on Community measures for the control of avian influenza repealing Directive 92/40/EEC (OJ No. L10,p. 16) insofar as it deals with vaccination against avian influenza. Avian Influenza (AI) or "Bird Flu" is a highly contagious viral infection which can affect all species of birds and can manifest itself in different ways depending mainly on the ability of the virus to cause disease (pathogenicity) and on the species affected.

Avian influenza, listed by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), has become a disease of great importance for animal and human health. Several aspects of the disease lack scientific information, which has hampered the management of some recent crises.

Millions of animals have died, and concern is growing over the loss of human lives and management of the pandemic potential. Avian influenza, known informally as avian flu or bird flu, is a variety of influenza caused by viruses adapted to birds.

The type with the greatest risk is highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).Bird flu is similar to swine flu, dog flu, horse flu and human flu as an illness caused by strains of influenza viruses that have adapted to a specific host.

Out of the three types of influenza. HPAI and Vaccine Use The outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 in spring was the worst animal disease outbreak in U.S. history. This disease is extremely deadly to chickens and turkeys and caused significant losses earlier this year.

More than premises were affected in 15 States, with more than 48 million birds. Vaccination: a tool for the control of avian influenza, Verona (Italy), March Background This document was prepared with the support of FAO and the valuable input of the OIE ad hoc group on AI vaccination guidelines, which first met in March Members.

Capua, S. MarangonThe use of vaccination to combat multiple introductions of notifiable avian influenza viruses of the H5 and H7 subtypes between and in Italy Vaccine, 25 (), pp. Cited by: Commonly known as "avian flu" or "bird flu," avian influenza is a disease in people and certain animals caused by infection with avian influenza viruses (AIVs).

These viruses are strains of influenza type A. These viruses are normally found only in birds. Although. To date, no cases of avian influenza A (H5N1) virus infection have been identified in the United States.

However, during the season, outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) among poultry and isolated human cases were reported from countries in Asia. new OIE regulations and maintenance of animal welfare, we review the available control methods for avian influenza infections in poultry, from stamping out to prevention through emergency and prophylactic vaccination.

Avian influenza (AI), which emerged from the animal reservoir, represents one of the greatest recent con-cerns for public health. Seasonal influenza vaccination will not prevent infection with avian influenza A viruses, but can reduce the risk of co-infection with human and avian influenza A viruses.

These people should also be monitored for illness during and after responding to avian influenza outbreaks among poultry. 1. Vaccine. Sep 12;26 Suppl 4:D Avian influenza vaccines and vaccination in birds.

The 2nd Ceva Avian Influenza Summit is an event to discuss current issues on avian influenza, the lessons learned and the value of the modern vaccination in the reduction of shedding and spreading of the field virus to better control the disease.The avian influenza prevention zone covering Scotland will be lifted on 30 April, the Scottish Government has confirmed.

The zone required bird keepers in all areas of Scotland to put in place enhanced biosecurity measures prior to letting their birds outside, in order to reduce the risk of disease.Show video list Social, Economic, and Scientific Factors that Impact the Decision to Use Vaccination as an Aid in Control of H5N1 Avian Influenza.
