| dc.description | FAO calls for increased vigilance and preparedness for avian influenza (AI) during the Southern hemisphere summer, as H5N1 viruses, especially those of clade 2.3.4.4b, continue to diversify genetically and spread geographically in the Americas. Given the ongoing situation in the region, the risk of (re-)introduction to countries along the wild bird migratory corridors is regarded as high. Importantly, FAO recommends countries and territories in Latin America and the Caribbean to put in place enhanced measures for early detection, diagnosis, outbreak response, and coordination with neighbouring countries under a One Health approach, in wild and domestic birds as well as mammals. | |
