Fugleinfluensa 

Forskning på fugleinfluensa

Forskere ved Veterinærinstituttet deltar i en rekke nasjonale og internasjonale prosjekter om fugleinfluensa, hvor de bidrar med overvåking, forskning, metodeutvikling og faglig rådgivning til myndigheter og samarbeidspartnere.

Et utvalg pågående prosjekter:

• One health for surveillance (OH4S)
• WiLiMan-ID - et europeisk prosjekt for å bekjempe fem farlige smittsomme dyresykdommer
• KNOW-PATH - Knowledge on priority pathogens, infectious diseases and their detection methods
• Animal Health Network - Subgroup on Avian Influenza - EFSA

I tillegg har det vært eller er interne pilotprosjekter på fugleinfluensa hos:

• Havørn
• Krykkje
• Rødrev
• Sau
• Storfe
• Villfugl og andre dyr i Arktis.
