DocumentGuiding Principles for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Surveillance and Diagnostic Networks in Asia 2004
Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this document is to provide guiding principles and minimum requirements for surveillance and diagnosis of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) that can be applied by countries and regional networks. These principles and minimum requirements are also broadly applicable to other avian influenza (AI) viruses. These guidelines may not be directly applicable to surveillance for low pathogenicity AI (LPAI) viruses. Recommendations of the Office International des Epi zooties (OIE, which is the world organization for animal health) ca recommendations on LPAI should be read in conjunction with this document. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGuiding principles for the design of avian influenza active surveillance in Asia
Designing active, comprehensive, risk-based avian influenza surveillance
2022Also available in:
No results found.These guidelines aim at supporting countries in the elaboration and planning of active surveillance schemes at national level for the monitoring and early detection of HPAI viruses. The document addresses the principles for HPAI active surveillance and the aspects that should be considered by countries when planning such activity: selection of sites, animal species, sample types and sample size, sampling frequency, and data collection. These guidelines are purposely concise for countries to get an overview of the components of HPAI active surveillance. Furthermore, the guidelines link to FAO technical publications which provide more details for field staff on practical aspects of HPAI active surveillance. -
DocumentAvian Influenza Control Programme in Indonesia. Annual Report 2009 2009

No results found.Poultry production, and its associated activities, account for around one percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product and provide the majority of animal protein consumed by 232 million Indonesians. A complex array of poultry enterprises, ranging from intensive commercial enterprises, to small-scale semi-intensive broiler and layer enterprises, to small backyard flockssupply poultry meat and eggs to Indonesian consumers, predominantly through around 13,000 traditional markets countrywide. Some 60% of all Indonesian households keep poultry for food, additional income, entertainment and ceremonial purposes. Since Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza(HPAI) was detected in Indonesia in 2003, the disease has infected poultry in 31 out of 33 provinces, caused the deaths of millions of poultry, and disrupted the livelihoods of large numbers of people dependent on poultry keeping. Outbreaks continue to be reported regularly on islands with dense human and poultry populations, such as Java and Sumatra. HPAI presents a major challenge to the country. An annualized poultry population of approximately 1.5 billion, a large culturally and ethnically diverse human population of around 232 million, a preference for purchasing poultry products from live bird markets, and a decentralized governance system, which has included devolution of the responsibility for controlling animal diseases to more than 450 autonomous districts/municipalities, have all contributed to the persistence of the di sease. The FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) Indonesia works to enhance the capacity and ability of the Government of Indonesia to implement its Avian InfluenzaControl Programme to sustainably control HPAI in order to help safeguard the health and livelihoods of the Indonesian population and reduce the global pandemic threat. This 2009 Annual Report provides an overview of the FAO activities carried out in collaboration with and in support of the Ministry of Agr iculture and local government livestock services in Indonesia. Achievements in the key areas of enhanced management of the HPAI control programme; improved surveillance, control and prevention of HPAI in village-based poultry, in the commercial poultry industry and along the poultry marketing chain are presented. The activities and achievements described in this report were funded by many donors and their contribution and commitment are gratefully acknowledged.
