Summary: Summary: "In the Netherlands a human facility, after increased reports of conjuctivitis during a H7N7 outbreak, signalled that different AI strains could be fatal to man. Also, the huge economic losses and difficulties in controlling the spread of the infection in densely populated poultry areas, problems with vaccination andn lack of marker vaccines demonstrated that the current control policy must be improved. These events led to an international A1 conference with experts from Asia, the USA and Europe." -- BOOK COVER.
