Detection and Prevention of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Communities with High Poultry Disease Burdens
The implementation of strategies to detect, prevent, and control highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in developing countries presents several challenges, one of which is the presence of other diseases in poultry populations. Training workshops in developing countries using the Avian Flu School...
