Avian Influenza in Southeast Asia: Creating a Regionally Sensitive OneHealth Approach

Celia Lowe MW 1:30-3:20

 

Influenza can be deadly to humans and animals. The 1918 H1N1 influenza pandemic killed 50-100 million people worldwide. Since the turn of the 21st century, new highly pathogenic influenzas are emerging that some speculate have a similar pandemic potential. In Indonesia H5N1, for example, had a 60% human mortality rate around 2008. The OIE, FAO, and WHO have teamed up to combat emerging influenza taking an approach recently termed OneHealth, meaning that humans, animals, and the environment share a common destiny. The OneHealth approach could benefit from a serious integration of social scientific and area studies knowledge however. The international Avian Influenza intervention has emphasized eradicating backyard poultry at the expense of small farmers while industrial production has remained fairly autonomous. While the OIE, WHO, and FAO have focused primarily on backyard poultry, it is clear that new human and poultry avian influenzas emerge and persist in mosaic landscapes that include both industrial production and backyard poultry farming. This TF will study avian influenza in Southeast Asia and develop a policy of intervention that is inclusive of the natural science of influenza disease transmission and emergence, AND the needs of small scale farmers in the region, AND the realities of policy makers in the world of OneHealth.
