Mitigating HPAI in broilers requires epidemiological study

Understanding how highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) spreads between broiler flocks through epidemiological research will be key to stopping the current outbreak.
“Science needs to move in to help. Not necessarily to do away with HPAI – that’s almost impossible – but at least to help mitigate the financial impacts, the public health impacts and that sort of thing,” explained Brian McCluskey, DVM, Ph.D., director, Lonestar Epidemiology Consulting.
