Page ContentThe following materials were developed and reviewed by international partners and are intended to be used for a week-long training of multi-sectoral rapid response teams to coordinate an effective response to the detection of an avian influenza A virus of pandemic concern to humans. The materials can also be used in a modular manner for specific epidemiology, veterinary, laboratory or medical audiences. The training materials include didactic lectures, group exercises, practice scenarios and a full day case study designed to facilitate a coordinated, multi-sectoral, discussion of a response to the detection of an influenza virus of pandemic potential in poultry and human populations.
