This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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 food 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 approach which is moving away from disease specific interventions to a more integrated, multidisciplinary 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" agenda."--P. [4] of cover.
Download or read book Avian Influenza written by Kyle M. Taylor and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avian influenza or bird flu refers to "influenza caused by viruses adapted to birds". Of the greatest concern is the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Most human contractions of the avian flu are a result of either handling dead infected birds or from contact with infected fluids. In this book, the authors discuss the molecular evolution, outbreaks and prevention/control of avian influenza. Topics include the risk assessment of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus infections through water; biosecurity measures against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in free-range flocks and commercial poultry in developing countries; outbreak control and viral evolution of the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in Thailand; and the changes in perceptions and attitudes that were identified in a follow-up survey conducted when bird flu was not the focus on widespread media coverage in Australia.

Abstract: Background H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) continues to be a serious threat to human and animal health with upwards of 840 human infections and 447 deaths since 2003. It also has pandemic potential. Vaccination in poultry has been employed in a number of countries as a strategy to control the virus. Methods A literature search was performed using PubMed and Google to locate relevant articles in English that examined the effectiveness of vaccination for controlling H5N1 HPAI. Results Experimental evidence demonstrates that vaccination is able to reduce infection rates, decrease replication and excretion of virus, reduce morbidity and mortality and prevent transmission in poultry. Its use in the field has met with mixed success. Clearly positive results in reduction of outbreaks in poultry and human infections have been seen in Vietnam and Hong Kong but not in some other endemic countries. The use of vaccination as a strategy is also challenged by such factors as the emergence of antigenic variants, non-sterilising immunity, and practical on the ground issues. Conclusion Despite some limitations vaccination of poultry as a part of a holistic H5N1 control strategy to protect human and animal health is recommended in a number of circumstances but a clear objective must be established. Further efforts are required in the development of vaccines and vaccination strategy but also in more clearly determining the additional benefit derived from vaccination over other control methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avian Influenza poses a looming threat for human and animal health. The old paradigm was that the disease in waterfowl, poultry, pigs and man was caused by separate viruses that stayed within their own niche. Deadly outbreaks have shattered this view. This timely reference examines such sensitive issues as regulation of low pathogenic and high pathogenic AI, surveillance of waterfowl, live bird markets, and outbreak control in densely populated areas.
Book Synopsis Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases by : Michel Tibayrenc
Download or read book Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases written by Michel Tibayrenc and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-12-17 with total page 773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases is at the crossroads between two major scientific fields of the 21st century: evolutionary biology and infectious diseases. The genomic revolution has upset modern biology and has revolutionized our approach to ancient disciplines such as evolutionary studies. In particular, this revolution is profoundly changing our view on genetically driven human phenotypic diversity, and this is especially true in disease genetic susceptibility. Infectious diseases are indisputably the major challenge of medicine. When looking globally, they are the number one killer of humans and therefore the main selective pressure exerted on our species. Even in industrial countries, infectious diseases are now far less under control than 20 years ago. The first part of this book covers the main features and applications of modern technologies in the study of infectious diseases. The second part provides detailed information on a number of the key infectious diseases such as malaria, SARS, avian flu, HIV, tuberculosis, nosocomial infections and a few other pathogens that will be taken as examples to illustrate the power of modern technologies and the value of evolutionary approaches. Takes an integrated approach to infectious diseases Includes contributions from leading authorities Provides the latest developments in the field
Book Synopsis Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease by : Illaria Capua
Download or read book Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease written by Illaria Capua and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-24 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avian Influenza (AI) and Newcastle Disease (ND) are two devastating diseases of poultry, which cause losses to the poultry industry and influence the liveability of rural communities worldwide. Following the H5N1 epidemic they appear to be endemic at least in Asia, Eastern Europe, The Middle East and Africa. Particularly in case of AI outbreaks it is essential that infection is diagnosed promptly and that isolates are made available to the international scientific community. Currently, several organisations including OIE, FAO and the EC have organised training courses in affected areas. However, often these courses do not cover all aspects of AI/ND diagnosis but only certain aspects. This results in fragmented areas of knowledge and in the application of different diagnostic protocols in different parts of the world. The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive approach to AI diagnosis ranging from the clinical elements that should trigger a suspicion in the field, to the post mortem technique, collection of samples, processing/ shipment of specimens, virological, serological and molecular diagnosis and guidelines for notification.
Book Synopsis Infectious Disease Movement in a Borderless World by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Infectious Disease Movement in a Borderless World written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern transportation allows people, animals, and plants-and the pathogens they carry-to travel more easily than ever before. The ease and speed of travel, tourism, and international trade connect once-remote areas with one another, eliminating many of the geographic and cultural barriers that once limited the spread of disease. Because of our global interconnectedness through transportation, tourism and trade, infectious diseases emerge more frequently; spread greater distances; pass more easily between humans and animals; and evolve into new and more virulent strains. The IOM's Forum on Microbial Threats hosted the workshop "Globalization, Movement of Pathogens (and Their Hosts) and the Revised International Health Regulations" December 16-17, 2008 in order to explore issues related to infectious disease spread in a "borderless" world. Participants discussed the global emergence, establishment, and surveillance of infectious diseases; the complex relationship between travel, trade, tourism, and the spread of infectious diseases; national and international policies for mitigating disease movement locally and globally; and obstacles and opportunities for detecting and containing these potentially wide-reaching and devastating diseases. This document summarizes the workshop.
