The project aims at coordinating and managing the international effort in assisting countries to control and ultimately eradicate avian influenza from the poultry producing sectors and to prepare non-infected countries for a rapid detection of, and response to, incursions of the disease. Assistance is urgently needed to provide support to regional and national specialized laboratories, disease control needs and public awareness.
