Avian Influenza can affect all species of birds in intensive poultry rearing systems young laying hens, ducks, and turkeys are usually the most affected species. Free-living birds may carry the influenza virus without becoming ill due to natural resistance. It is known that wild birds and waterfowl present a natural reservoir for these viruses and can be responsible for the primary introduction of infection into domestic poultry. Bird flu is a very serious and ongoing concern for the poultry industry and eventually other farm animals; the general population worries about the disease is often misplaced. Featured speakers include Jean-Luc Guérin, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ECPVS, professor in poultry medicine at the National Veterinary College of Toulouse, France, and Director of the “host-pathogens interactions” joint research unit (INRAEENVT); and Dr. Stéphane Lemière, Head of Global Technical Services Poultry at Boehringer Ingelheim.
