Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetLumpy skin disease preparedness course 2023The FAO Virtual Learning Centers (VLCs) are virtual hubs established to develop and improve One Health capacities in all FAO regions. Their mission is to provide trainees with access to inclusive, engaging and high-quality training using a variety of methodologies. The VLCs’ training courses target country actors in the areas related to FAO’s One Health mandate, including government officials and technical staff, programme and project coordinators, practitioners and professionals working in the field, such as veterinarians, animal health workers, experts in forestry, wildlife, aquaculture and fisheries, in addition to public health experts. The VLCs follow a decentralized model that empowers FAO regions to develop and deliver courses that closely consider regional needs and context. This model also makes it possible to scale up the delivery of courses and share resources and good practices between VLCs. This flyer outlines one of the VLCs courses providing an overview of its content and structure.

ProjectEmergency Assistance to Enhance Preparedness for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) Outbreak in Ukraine - TCP/UKR/3802 2024

No results found.In late July 2020, both the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan began documenting outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) caused by the H5 virus strain in domestic fowl and wild birds near their shared border. The infection subsequently spread across the region via a number of migratory routes of wild birds, resulting in the identification of H5N8 HPAI cases in Western Europe, East Asia, the Middle East, and Africa by early November 2020. By May 2021, around 3 000 occurrences of HPAI had been documented across approximately 50 countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The H5N8 avian influenza (AI) virus, along with other H5Nx clade 2.3.4.4b viruses, exhibits strong adaptation to both fowl and different species of wild birds. Notably, the H5N8 AI virus has led to seven cases of asymptomatic human infections in the Russian Federation, underscoring its potential for zoonotic transmission. Moreover, in July 2021, the Russian Federation notified the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) regarding significant pelican mortality in Central Siberia. Experts interpreted this event as a clear indicator of what could potentially occur in Europe during the autumn migration, starting from late August 2021.
