Avian influenza: A global outlook - Absolute transparency about disease outbreaks, involving farmers directly in surveillance and reporting, and compensation are key to making the global fight against avian influenza successful, according to FAO. Countries in which some or all of these requirements are in place “have managed to progressively control the virus and the global situation has improved tremendously," says Juan Lubroth, the senior FAO officer in charge of the infectious disease un it. "Unfortunately, at the global level, many outbreaks remain under reported or unreported, and national or international bodies are often unable to immediately verify rumours or reports about unconfirmed outbreaks." The number of outbreaks in the first weeks of 2007 has been significantly lower than the epidemic waves of last year despite new flare-ups of the virus so far in 14 countries – Egypt, China (Hong Kong SAR), Hungary, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Nigeria, Pakistan, Republic of Kor ea, Russian Federation, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom and Viet Nam.
