Descripción
Outbreaks of the highly pathogenic form of avian influenza (HPAI) and measures for their control have resulted in massive losses. The initial 2003-2004 outbreaks occurred in countries of South-East Asia, where some of the largest epidemics have occurred. However, the disease has now spread to other Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, Myanmar and Afghanistan, to Near Eastern countries such as Turkey, Iraq and Egypt, to Europe and to sub-Saharan Africa. The loss of production, due to the high mortality rates and culling to control the disease, clearly affect market supplies of poultry meat and eggs.
