Warning signal & monitoring

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
