Qualitative risk assessments (release and exposure assessments) for the risk of introduction of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) virus into Ethiopia via wild birds trade transiting in the country and for the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) virus between large scale commercial and small scale commercial poultry farms in Ethiopia
The outbreak and spread of Asian-lineage highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) from Asia to Europe and Africa in 2003-2007 challenged national disease surveillance and response programs particularly in those countries where infection occurred. Ethiopia has not had the disease, but it is consid...

This study assessed the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) between backyard poultry (S4) farms and between S4 and semi-commercial (S3) farms in Kenya. It was designed to complement findings of a study that had been conducted in 2007 by the DVS and FAO to evaluate the...

Qualitative release and exposure assessment on the risk of HPAI transmission between sector 4 farms and between sector 3 and sector 4 farms in Kenya
Kenya has a high risk of being infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) because it (i) lies along the migratory bird routes, (ii) engages in formal and informal cross-border trade in live birds and other poultry products, (iii) lacks capacity to regulate the poultry industry trade a...
