Avian Influenza Prevention
For now, not a single case of Avian Influenza has been detected on the South American continent. Nevertheless, the Brazilian government has been prepared for a possible pandemic since 2003 to speed up the implementation of preventive measures and disease control.
Since 2006, the National Plan for Prevention of Avian Influenza and Control and Prevention of Newcastle Disease modernized laboratories, created hygienic barriers and provided technical training and education.
