H5N1 in humans since 2003: - 784 human cases worldwide - 429 deaths - fatality rate: 55% 6
Highly pathogenic avian influenza: H5N8 Background first detected in China in November 2013 in LBM surveillance 42 outbreaks in poultry farms in Republic of Korea, China and Japan, from January to October 2014 highly pathogenic virus systemic infection with severe clinical signs and mortality in gallinaceous poultry detected in several wild bird species no human case reported (risk of human infection extremely low) LBM: Live Bird Market 7
Highly pathogenic avian influenza: H5N8 Epidemiology domestic species affected: chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese severe clinical signs and associated mortality in domestic gallinaceans wild bird species affected (species also found in Europe and Africa): common teal, Baikal teal, wild pochard, mallard ducks, tundra swan, great egret, bean goose, green-winged teal, spot-billed duck, whitefronted goose, whooper swan some wild birds found infected were apparently healthy in the Republic of Korea: isolates found in wild birds were similar to the ones found in poultry farms viruses isolated in Europe are related to the H5N8 viruses in Asia Key-role of wild birds suspected 8

Low pathogenic avian influenza: H7N9 Background 31 March 2013: report of the first 3 human cases of H7N9 in China first time the H7N9 subtype was ever detected in humans origin: reassortment of 4 different AI viruses > 600 human cases worldwide fatality rate > 30% later detected in domestic birds via active surveillance low pathogenic virus no clinical signs in poultry 11
Low pathogenic avian influenza: H7N9 H7N9 in birds experimental studies: no clinical signs in 6 weeks old chickens IVPI = 0 chickens and quail shed the most shedding from ducks is limited shedding is mainly oropharyngeal epidemiological data: susceptible species: quail, geese, pigeon, Muscovy & Pekin duck IVPI: IntraVenous Pathogenicity Index 12
Low pathogenic avian influenza: H7N9 H7N9 in birds: surveillance in China large scale assessment by MoA + MoH: 196 samples from birds or environment + 327 virological findings reported in articles (including 1 wild bird) most virological findings in LBM (only a few farms) primary virus detection: PCR + isolation of virus secondary tool: serosurveillance using specfied antigens Species distribution chicken duck pigeon environment unspecified 13
Low pathogenic avian influenza: H7N9 H7N9 in humans genetic analysis shows virus is well adapted to human respiratory receptors (unlike H5N1) causes severe pneumonia, respiratory distress and death no sustained human to human transmission 80% of first detections of the virus in previously uninfected cities were due to human cases 80% of human cases had recent exposure to poultry or live poultry markets 14
Thank you for your attention. 15
Compartmentalisation History of the concept to face the spread of H5N1 avian influenza in 2004 Objectives prevention and control of the disease exportation of animal products from countries that could not eradicate diseases from the national territory in the short term Guidelines for implementation Terrestrial Animal Health Code: Chapter 4.3: Zoning and compartmentalisation - Chapter 4.4: Application of compartmentalisation Checklist on the Practical Application of Compartmentalisation diseases/species: examples of possible implementation poultry: avian influenza, Newcastle disease pigs: CSF, ASF horses: equine influenza sheeps and goats: scrapie, peste des petits ruminants 16
