Warning signal & monitoring
Research Question
- Develop cost-effective early warning systems for influenza viruses – both on-farm and in wildlife
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Cost and feasibility of wildlife surveillance systems
- New methods for anticipating/detecting potentially dangerous viral subtypes prior to major outbreak events
- Early-warning risk-based surveillance systems designed for emerging events in both wild and domestic hosts
- Syndromic surveillance
- Accessible information system: current systems can only be accessed by certain stakeholders
- Increase trust of farmers in institutions
Solution Routes
- Socio-economic studies to assess cost-benefit of different wildlife surveillance systems
- Remote sensors and artificial intelligence for early warning linked with official sampling protocols
- Early detection systems for influenza A virus in turkeys and pigs
- Mortality triggers for livestock species under varied conditions
- Easily accessible information system by all stakeholders
- Information regarding animal diseases and outbreaks is constantly updated, ease to access and understand
- Monitoring wildlife predators/scavengers for seroconversion
Dependencies
- Develop cost-effective surveillance systems
State Of the Art
- The information system is available unfortunately it can only be accessed by the authorities
