Basic biosecurity standards for the prevention of avian influenza

Salmonellosis is a disease of humans and animals caused by microorganisms of the Salmonella genus belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. This family is composed of many serotypes. Not all serotypes are important in animal health, as some do not cause disease in animals. However, they are important in public health because they are the cause of one of the main foodborne illnesses.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) belongs to the Paramyxoviridae family in the Avulavirus genus. There are ten avian paramyxovirus serotypes designated APMV-1 to APMV-10, and the Newcastle disease virus has been designated APMV-1.

Avian influenza (AI) is a highly contagious and extremely variable infection of poultry and wild birds, the latter acting as a natural reservoir. Disease can range from moderate to severe, but only the H5 or H7 subtypes cause Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), the most severe strain. These are extremely contagious and virulent strains, causing high mortality in poultry.

Avian influenza (bird flu) is a disease caused by a virus that can affect most birds, both domestic and wild. This virus can also cause illness in humans. In 2003, an outbreak began in Southeast Asia and has gradually spread to other parts of that continent, as well as to Europe and Africa.
