Avian influenza spread into Europe

The likely progressive spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) into new regions will require proactive intervention by the countries at risk, especially those situated along wild bird migration routes. Increased surveillance, detection capabilities and emergency preparedness will be required. Public awareness, along with education and training of veterinary and veterinary para-professionals, farmers, marketers, and poultry transport contractors and egg collectors, will be required to ensure that the disease is either prevented or detected and controlled, in order to prevent its establishment and maintenance in newly colonized ecosystems.
