๐๐ Well done Rebecca, Oksana, and Mattias with excellent presentations at the first conference of the World Animal Biosecurity Association.
From participatory research to practical policy discussion, collective action with farmers policy-makers and researchers is the way forward.
This month, we're hosting Yik Lim Hew, PhD candidate from Hokkaido University ๐ฏ๐ต. His research dives into the epidemiology of #HPAI in Japan, and during his stay, heโll be investigating outbreaks: tracking introductions, regional spread, and species jumps using #phylodynamics.

In this perspective article, we discuss the need for a paradigm shift in highly pathogenic avian influenza #HPAI management #policies. This should impact the way poultry are produced an traded in the future.
