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
