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. -

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.
