Details

The Asymptomatic Avian Influenza Surveillance Study (AAISS) aims to investigate whether persons working with birds (or non-human mammals) known to have or suspected of having avian influenza acquire asymptomatic infection. This is determined through serial swabbing and serological testing post-involvement in an incident.

The surveillance study was launched in March 2023. The protocol is published here.
