| dc.description | These standard operating procedures (SOPs) for responding to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 build on the experience that FAO’s Animal Production and Health Division and the Crisis Management Centre – Animal Health (CMC-AH) have acquired when responding to government requests for support in dealing with HPAI outbreaks. These SOPs may also be used for a range of other diseases. However, these SOPs are not all-inclusive; they address selected priority areas. As additional areas are i dentified, complementary SOPs may be required. These SOPs are addressed to national animal health services and rapid response veterinary teams who may deal with avian influenza and other disease outbreaks on very short notice. The information contained in the SOPs covers a wide range of situations, from a small flock of a few birds in a poor, rural setting to a highly industrialized, poultry production site. Therefore, veterinarians should use these SOPs as a canvas of best p ractices while adapting them to the context in which they need to intervene. Following several workshops held in Eastern Europe and Central Asia to validate the SOPs for those regions, the SOPs were then reviewed to address HPAI response from a global perspective. A number of experts contributed to this process to ensure the SOP contents were easy to follow and illustrated an appropriate and practical way to deal with HPAI and other serious diseases. | |
