Specifically the additional risk that arises from the recent emergence and extension of A/H5N1 viruses into the European Union and elsewhere in the world and the changed biology of the viruses among wild and domestic birds. In addition the document identifies areas requiring additional scientific and public health work both as single pieces of work and for risk monitoring by ECDC and its partners. Given the rapidly developing epidemiology in Europe and elsewhere the document remains an interim assessment that will be regularly updated. The document should be considered along with other relevant publications concerning Avian Influenza produced by ECDC and other authoritative bodies such as WHO he EuropeanCommission the FAO OIE etc. ECDCs collection of documents on H5N1 the H5N1 Portfolio is available at /www.ecdc.eu.int/avian_influenza/index.php . Weekly updates are published in ECDCs Influenza Surveillance and Risk Monitoring summaries at www.ecdc.eu.int/influenza/update_influenza .phpComments and contributions to the document continue to be welcomed toinfluenza@ecdc.eu.int Page 3Technical Report | Version June 1st2006ECDC Scientific Advice Public Health Risk from HPAI3Executive SummaryOutbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses ...
