Analysis of the global situation (1)
The Influenza virusThe Influenza virus
Very well known
Multi-host virus
High antigenic drifts, re-assortments and shifts
4
Analysis of the global situation (2)
Characteristics of the virus Characteristics of the virus
H and N surface proteins
H5 and H7 groups are considered as having the highest potential for pathogenicity including for humans
5
Analysis of the global situation (3)
What is new about the current global situationWhat is new about the current global situation
Behavior of the H5N1 “Asian strain”
Worldwide consequences wild birds role international trade and movements of
animals, commodities and people

Economic and social consequences of the Economic and social consequences of the current crisiscurrent crisis
High economic costs and negative social consequences
Increase poverty
Add injury to the food insecurity in the SADC Region
Shift of public resources, under pressure from possible pandemic
Analysis of the global situation (4)
7
Analysis of the global situation (5)
Pandemic potential Pandemic potential
Related to increased virus load in the environment through circulation in animal populations and potential for re-assortment and/or mutation
8
Analysis of the global situation (6)
60% of human pathogens are zoonotic
80% of animal pathogens are multi-host
75% of emerging diseases are zoonotic
80% of agents having a potential of bioterrorist use are zoonotic pathogens
9
OIE Proposals (1)
New concepts must be used to face emerging animal diseases, including zoonosis like the HPAI
New partnerships and mechanisms at Global, Regional and National levels
10
New conceptsNew conceptsInternational Public Good concept
Good governance and veterinary legislations
Appropriate infrastructure and resources of Veterinary Administrations for strict enforcement of legislations
Early detection and early reaction
Surveillance, transparency, pathogen confinement
