Safeguarding with science: Avian influenza

At APHA science plays a vital role in how we safeguard animal and plant health. Whether it’s identifying and controlling outbreaks of notifiable disease; facilitating international trade; or our research in areas such as avian influenza and bovine TB, all our work is underpinned by scientific principles and rigour.

Here Professor Ian Brown, APHA's Head of Virology, talks about avian influenza (bird flu) and the work we do at our international reference laboratory in Weybridge.

For more information about avian influenza, including how to spot it, what to do if you suspect it, measures to prevent it, and the latest situation in GB, see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/avian-influenza-bird-flu.
