Control Strategies

Control Strategies

Research Question

  • Prevention of outbreaks and their rapid containment when outbreaks do occur
  • Prevention of multiplication of pathogen subtypes and clades resulting from weaker implementation of control measures

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • Development of effective and sustainable control strategies for influenza outbreaks
  • Prevention of outbreaks requires very strong international collaboration and alignment of approaches – should it be reinforced?
  • Diversity of contexts
  • Field work not always scientifically prepared & described – how to make sure results can be scientifically extrapolated and shared?
  • Engagement of all stakeholders who determine control strategy inputs (regulators, poultry industry) and are affected by outcomes
  • Consideration of varied restraints/concerns: heritage breeds, value, environment, social concerns, food security, cost, supplies

Solution Routes

  • Develop models to evaluate control strategy inputs and outcomes
  • Good vaccine that can be delivered via mass application method
  • All inclusive multi-stakeholder plan of action to deliver control options
  • Encourage international experience and data sharing
  • Education on biosecurity measures to poor resource settings
  • Collect data on control strategy inputs and outcomes
  • Contextualising control options to different geographies and socioeconomic platforms

Dependencies

  • Social science studies to understand trust among key players

State Of the Art

  • Some data on vaccination already available
