 | Pages: 27; Description: This guideline describes the strategies and methods for influenza surveillance in swine populations in light of the 2009 A/(H1N1) pandemic. Abstract: 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. Abstract: 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. |

  | Pages: 49; Description: This guidance focuses on social issues and reactions to a pandemic that could cripple economies, interrupt harvest, processing, transport, sales and distribution of basic food supplies. Abstract: This guidance focuses on social issues and reactions to a pandemic that could cripple economies, interrupt harvest, processing, transport, sales and distribution of basic food supplies. These could increase rates of malnutrition and, for those already malnourished, increase rates of mortality. This document is organized to provide guidance for community leaders in particular, as well as national leaders, with a final technical section that provides analysis for how local efforts can be supported by regional and international cooperation. |
