Control Tools
Research Question
- Development of improved control tools for influenzas virus to minimize losses when infections occur and to prevent spread to other populations
Research Gaps and Challenges
- To develop vaccine, therapeutics, biosecurity measures, disinfectants and breed selection for controlling influenza virus in targeted species
- To develop strategies to use various control tools across various species, ages, and types of production as well as in varied stages of an
outbreak - Lack of knowledge on how dietary/other interventions might be targeted towards eliciting changes in the microbiota that support
immunity to influenza and/or improve responses to vaccines
Solution Routes
- Pre-emptive risk assessment for targeted disease control measures
- Strategies for the suppression and local/regional eradication of swine influenza
- Assessment of exposure risks for flocks from outdoor composting
- Additional composting methods: Above ground, in Ag bag
- Increase and improve biosecurity measures (solution useful for controlling several respiratory diseases at once)
- Improve compliance and practice among workers. Upper management by-in
- Methods to neutralize virus from housing when birds are present
- Windbreak gaze (netting efficacy)
- Keep animals inside
- Risk assessment post outbreak to determine when a site can be declared free of pathogen to prevent subsequent outbreak
- Design vaccination strategies that fit species, age, production type and maternal antibody status including priming and boosting with various technologies to optimize protection and duration of immunity
Dependencies
- Understand the risk of outbreak spread with the application of existing strategies and/or when no control is applied
