• Why train on pandemic response?– Over the last several years, a highly virulent new

strain of avian flu (H5N1) has become endemic in the poultry population in Southeast Asia.

– This particular flu strain causes significant mortality (~50%) in humans that have been infected.

– The World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have since expressed major concern about the potential for this virus to mutate into a form that could cause a global pandemic outbreak of human disease.
