Resumen
Descripción
These guidelines aim at supporting countries in the elaboration and planning of active surveillance schemes at national level for the monitoring and early detection of HPAI viruses. The document addresses the principles for HPAI active surveillance and the aspects that should be considered by countries when planning such activity: selection of sites, animal species, sample types and sample size, sampling frequency, and data collection. These guidelines are purposely concise for countries to get an overview of the components of HPAI active surveillance. Furthermore, the guidelines link to FAO technical publications which provide more details for field staff on practical aspects of HPAI active surveillance.
