Livestock

Research Question

  • Host range of different subtypes in livestock
  • What is the species-specific risk of HPAIV developing in a poultry farm.

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • Cross-species infectivity including wild birds and domestic birds to wild
    mammals
  • Novel subtypes in avians, pigs and equine
  • Knowledge on bird species and tissues within the host which are involved in the genesis of HPAIV H5 / H7
  • Impact of Influenza D virus (often associated with bovine respiratory disease complex)
  • Mixed farming contribution to the spread of influenza

Solution Routes

  • Study why turkeys are highly susceptible and not young broilers
  • Predictive approaches for understanding the level of risk posed by new isolates
  • Risks related to farms raising several species (e.g. turkeys and pigs)
  • Pigs should be monitored for H5 infections

Dependencies

  • Broad surveillance across livestock species

State Of the Art

  • Minks in Spain showed an infection with a dangerous mutation for humans
