Abstract

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) associated with the H5N1 virus strain is now endemic in the Viet Nam and Thailand regions. Evidence-based responses must be developed which represent all the interested parties. Strategic Pathogen Assessment for Domesticated Animals (SPADA), is the methodology by which the study undertook policy influence, risk communication and capacity building.
