Prevalence and cost of disease
Research Question
- Assess the global burden of influenza viruses
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Cost-benefit of wildlife network surveillance vs human-interface surveillance network
- Standard methods for cost-benefit analysis
- Effective systems for monitoring influenza at the human/animal interface
- Development of efficient sampling methods for rapid detection of emerging strains
- Integration of diagnostic and surveillance data systems
- Standardization of international surveillance programs for avian and swine influenza
- Improvement of surveillance systems in wild birds
- Develop innovative surveillance methods
Solution Routes
- Develop a global Ag cartography
- Assessment of high-risk areas to target limited surveillance resources for maximum impact
- Rapid characterization and pathotyping of variants circulating in the field (high throughput point-of-use technology
Dependencies
- Socio-economic studies
- Improve surveillance systems – incl. In vaccinated populations
- Early detection systems for influenza A virus in turkeys and pigs
