Description Considering that Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in developing countries is
not solely a veterinary problem, especially in backyard flocks, and an acceptable control
can only be successful with the involvement of those small holders a research agenda
was developed by an international expert team in collaboration with national partners
from four African countries (Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana) and Indonesia. The team
includes veterinary and economic scientists. Despite significant scientific advances made
towards understanding of HPAI, knowledge gaps remain on e.g. disease epidemiology and
economic impact of HPAI and its control with specific emphasis on the effects of alternative
mitigation strategies on livelihoods. Moreover, there is a limited understanding of the
institutional arrangements most suited for disease control in different production systems.
To address the knowledge gaps several components were developed and implemented
in all five countries consisting of (a) Risk assessment, (b) Livelihood and (c) Institutional
analysis. A planned cross-country analysis will allow to identify similarities and differences
in HPAI control and its success between the project countries.
The submitted paper will present used approaches for each research component with
special emphasis on implemented activities in Indonesia, a country where HPAI is considered
to be endemic in many parts of the country and conventional control measures have
failed to limit substantially the spread of the disease. Beside of this a situation overview
on HPAI will be provided.
