 | Pages: 47; Description: This report assesses mechanisms to quantify costs and benefits of control or risk mitigation measures associated with animal disease control of A/(H5N1). Abrégé: This report assesses the various ways that have been used to quantify costs and benefits of different control and prevention measures associated with diseases with the aim of identifying an appropriate methodology for analyzing the mitigations measures used to control/prevent A/(H5N1) in the study countries. |
|
 | Pages: 91; Description: The report seeks to provide guidelines on good practice for payment of compensation as part of HPAI stamping-out strategies. Abrégé: An effective and efficient compensation scheme will compensate appropriate beneficiaries for appropriate losses at an appropriate level, with only a short interval between culling and payment of the compensation. This will only be possible if a number of elements are already in place before an outbreak. This guideline provides mechanisms to strengthen a compensation system. |
|
 | Pages: 27; Description: This guideline describes the strategies and methods for influenza surveillance in swine populations in light of the 2009 A/(H1N1) pandemic. Abrégé: This guideline describes the strategies and methods for influenza surveillance in swine populations in light of the 2009 A/(H1N1) pandemic. The adaptation of disease surveillance schemes to different pig production systems, especially disease surveillance targeting backyard or small pig producers, in particular in developing countries, is encouraged. Surveillance at this level should include the active participation of local communities and farmers to actively report respiratory cases in pigs. |
|
 | Pages: 44; Description: This report describes the regional strategy for avian influenza and other emerging infectious diseases of animals for the Asia and Pacific regions. The Strategy provides a vision for a common approach to address the ongoing problem of HPAI and EIDs, and serves to harmonize activities of various partners and donor agencies within the region. Abrégé: This strategy is a revision of the Strategic Framework for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Prevention and Control in Southeast Asia developed in May 2006. The Strategy has been revised in recognition of the changing situation of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in the region and advances in knowledge about approaches to its control. It also reflects the international recognition of the regular emergence of new infectious diseases that threaten food security, food safety and human health and the need for interventions that address surveillance and preparedness capabilities for emerging infectious diseases in a broader context. |
|
 | Description: This training package has 2 portions. The first part is for hospital-based surveillance of signal events and the second part refers to the response of healthcare facilities once such an event is detected. We are not exactly sure where in your current categories would be the best place to locate it, especially since there is no surveillance section. Since it refers to health facilities preparation, maybe it could be included under pandemic preparedness? |

 | Pages: 41; Description: This report presents and discusses the potential pathways of highly pathogenic avian influenza A/(H5N1) transmission from poultry to humans. Abrégé: The purpose of this report is to critically review published, grey literature, and accessible primary reports on HPAI, specifically focusing on highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) subtype H5N1 (HPAI/H5N1) in humans. The epidemiology of influenza A/(H5N1) in poultry and humans is reviewed, and an evaluation of what is known about influenza A/(H5N1) transmission patterns from poultry-to-humans is undertaken. Although this report focuses on A/(H5N1), studies which have evaluated poultry-to-human transmission for other HPAI strains (e.g., H7 outbreaks in the Netherlands, Italy and British Columbia) are included. |
|
 | Pages: 18; Description: This paper reviews the (predominantly grey) literature on impacts of highly pathogenic avian influenza strain H5N1 and control responses on the livestock sector and associated industries in developing countries. Abrégé: This review considers how the impacts propagate up- and downstream through related supply and distribution networks, how short-term reactions are followed by longer-term adjustments, how impacts include direct cost elements and foregone income, and why losses to the poultry sector will, at least to some extent, be ‘passed on’ on the one hand, for example through compensation, and, on the other hand, be compensated for by gains in other livestock subsectors. |
|
 | Pages: 32; Description: The aim of this report is to provide a methodological framework that will enable the collection and analysis of primary data to measure the impacts of highly pathogenic avian influenza on assets, livelihood strategies and the various indicators of rural livelihoods. Abrégé: This report provides frameworks for research on the impacts of the highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks and threats on rural livelihoods, specifically to measure the rural households’ vulnerability to this livestock disease and its associated repercussions (e.g., food and nutrition insecurity and deepened gender inequality). |
|
 | Pages: 56; Description: This report describes biosecurity for backyard holdings of poultry to reduce risk of disease transmission and economic losses. Abrégé: The objective of this literature review is to describe biosecurity and to cover options of improving biosecurity in sectors 3 and 4 while considering the possibilities of restructuring keeping in mind the special conditions of small poultry productions. Furthermore, the feasibility and cost of implementation and the potential impact on future contribution of small poultry production to food security is discussed. The target group is decision makers, professional poultry personnel and scientists. |

|
 | Pages: 18; Description: This report details the methodologies to be used to assess the nutritional impacts of highly pathogenic avian influenza. Abrégé: While issues related to food safety and avian influenza have been addressed in some industrialized countries, little has been done to understand how the epidemic together with the government and general population responses has affected the nutrition of those living in developing countries. The methodologies outlined in this report are proposed for investigating nutritional impact of an avian influenza. |
|
 | Description: Lecture on outbreak communications Abrégé: Outbreaks are unique public health events. Trust needs to be built with the public. The first announcement is the most critical of all outbreak communication messages. Important elements are transparency, dialogue with the public, planning, and message making. |
|
 | Pages: 72; Description: The purpose of this guideline is to teach the user how to design and implement rapid participatory action research – lasting about one month at the onset of a disease outbreak or other event for which a rapid response is required. Abrégé: The purpose of participatory action research is to ensure that communication strategies encourage people to change their behavior in a way that is consistent with their culture, livelihood strategies, gender division of labor, etc. both to respect their human rights and to ensure that change actually happens. This is presented in this guideline using the example of avian influenza A/H5N1, however, the principles apply to many diseases. |
