Book (stand-alone)Strategies for the Prevention and Control of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Eastern Africa
Poultry Sector Analysis: Bio-security Review and Improved Poultry Husbandry Systems for Sectors 3 and 4 to Prevent HPAI Infection in Uganda
2009Also available in:
No results found.This report therefore describes a review of the bio-security and husbandry practices and systems for all poultry sectors in Uganda with special emphasis for sectors 3 and 4 with a view to the prevention of HPAI infection. It is part of a series of Country Reports that are commissioned by the Animal Production Service (AGAP) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for the Socio-Economics and Policy Working Group of the Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Disease (ECTAD)… -
Book (stand-alone)Fifth report on the Global Programme for the Prevention and Control of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza
January 2011- January 2012
2013Also available in:
No results found.This report will be the last that focuses primarily on the HPAI global programme. Since early 2011, FAO has taken a broad, multisectoral, collaborative One Health approach and is currently implementing the strategic Action Plan (AP) 2011–2015 entitled, Sustainable animal health and contained animal-related human health risks – in support of the emerging One-Health agenda. The AP extends HPAI lessons learned to other animal diseases that threaten animal and human health, rural populations and liv elihoods. The AP’s goal is to establish a robust global animal health system that effectively manages major animal health risks, paying particular attention to the animal-human-ecosystem interface, and placing disease dynamics into the broader context of agriculture and socio-economic development and environmental sustainability. -
Book (stand-alone)Fourth report of the global programme for the prevention and control of highly pathogenic avian influenza (January-December 2010) 2011
Also available in:
No results found.H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) continues to be a major concern, including the risk of human infection. In six countries, the disease is entrenched in poultry populations (Bangladesh, the People's Republic of China, Egypt, Indonesia, Viet Nam and parts of India) and elimination remains a long-term goal. During 2010, other major animal diseases also continued to spread in different regions of the world, disrupting livestock production, rural economies and people's livelihoods and fo od security. This has been largely due to the limited capacity of veterinary services to prevent incursion of diseases of high impact or contain them, and to disease drivers such as poor production hygiene, high intensification of animal production, increased trade of animal and animal products and intensified contact between animal, human and wildlife populations.FAO's HPAI Global Programme addresses the continuing threats from HPAI, and other high-impact animal diseases, through an app roach which is moving away from disease specific interventions to a more integrated, multidiscilinary focus on developing sustainable animal health systems at country, regional and global levels. The approach builds upon lessons learned from the responses to H5N1 HPAI and applies them to other transboundary animal and emerging infectious diseases . FAO has been working towards this approach, including with its new Animal Health Strategic Action Plan (2011-2015) in line with the 'One Health' agen da.
