Addressing avian influenza A(H7N9)

Responding to the occurrence of influenza A (H7N9) virus requires a wide array of disciplines. Unlike H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), H7N9 is a low pathogenic virus that does not cause any disease signs in infected birds. Consequently there is no signal from poultry of the zoonotic risk at the animal-human interface. This makes it difficult to persuade animal workers of the potential danger from healthy-appearing poultry. Therefore, capacities in risk communication are crucial for animal and public health specialists, epidemiologists, virologists, veterinarians and many others working to reduce the risk this emerging virus poses...

EMPRES Watch - Vol. 33 September 2015

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is caused by the lumpy skin disease virus (i.e. capripoxvirus, poxviridae). The disease affects mainly cattle and Asian water buffaloes. LSD is transmitted by mechanical vectors (i.e. Stomoxys sp. Flies) and, though rare, direct transmission can occur between infected animals. The disease is usually transferred to infection-free areas by transport of animals infested with vectors. LSD is a disease that results in substantial economic losses in terms of dairy and meat production, and it also causes damage to hides. The disease can lead to restrictions...
