Prerequisites for the Start of a Pandemic : 

Prerequisites for the Start of a Pandemic First, a novel virus must emerge to which the general population will have no or little immunity Second, the new virus must be able to replicate in humans and cause disease Third, the new virus must be efficiently transmitted from one human to another. Efficient transmission is expressed as sustained chains of transmission causing community-wide outbreaks

Slide46: 

Culling Quarantine Disinfection Vaccination against circulating flu H5N1 vaccine development Stockpiling of antivirals

Take-home messages: 

Take-home messages The threat to public health will remain so long as the virus continues to cause disease in domestic poultry The outbreaks in poultry are likely to take a very long time to control Should the final prerequisite for a pandemic be met, the consequences for human health around the world could be devastating Regardless of how the present situation evolves, the world needs to be better prepared to respond to the next influenza pandemic

Slide49: 

We have to prepare for the next pandemic!!!
