Research Question
- Role of mechanical vectors (rodents, house flies -Musca domestica, other insects) in premise-to-premise transmission
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Lack of knowledge of the level of importance of vector transmission
- Vectors flow freely between farms and wild areas and among farms
- Different types of vectors have different mechanisms of spread and varied roles in transmission/persistence/outbreak spread
Solution Routes
- Ecology studies of farming systems to identify potential vectors (insects, vermin, etc.) under varied stressors like during normal times and when there is an outbreak
- Surveillance of various potential vectors
- Challenge and transmission studies on various hosts
- Transmission studies from specific vectors to poultry
Dependencies
- Include vector control in all biosecurity plans
