Also available in:
The Crisis Management Centre – Animal Health (CMC-AH) is a primary facility of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) for animal disease emergency response. A combined effort of FAO’s Animal Health Service and Emergency Operations and Rehabilitation Division, the CMC-AH unites FAO’s extensive technical and operational expertise with that of OIE, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international, national and loca l partners.With the support of its donors, the CMC-AH provides technical and operational assistance to help affected governments assess epidemiological situations on the ground, diagnose transboundary animal disease outbreaks and set-up immediate measures to help prevent or stop disease spread. CMC-AH efforts also represent the first step toward broader assistance. Working to facilitate the transition from immediate, emergency assistance to longer-term support, the CMC-AH initiates resou rce mobilization and project proposal formulation efforts for affected countries and regions. -
Book (series)Global consultation on highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)
Rome, Italy, 2-4 May 2023
2023Also available in:
No results found.Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a severe and highly contagious disease that has severe impacts on animal and human health, livelihoods, and the economy. At the time of the consultation, the recent panzootic had affected more than 70 countries and territories, resulting in over 11 000 disease events in both wild and domestic bird populations. The disease has also spilled over to several mammalian species, including humans, and may result in severe ecological and biodiversity consequences. Considering the alarming spread of HPAI and the evolution of avian influenza in wild birds, The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and Network of Expertise on Animal Influenza (OFFLU) brought together the global scientific community to review the latest science and evidence on the disease, to support development/implementation of disease prevention and control strategies and policies and contribute to global efforts towards reducing pandemic risk. The report summarizes the meeting discussions, and key recommendations to reduce the transmission of HPAI along the poultry value chains, and the spillover risk to humans and wildlife. The meeting report will contribute to revising the FAO-WOAH global control strategy for HPAI and developing evidence-based policies and research agendas to tackle the disease. Sharing the meeting report with technical experts and policy makers will help support the development of a research and development agenda to tackle HPAI globally.
