SNIPPET: "Thursday, July 23, 2015 The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has called for US$20 million to prevent spread of avian flu across the West African region of 330 million people. Fears are growing that without timely intervention to stem outbreaks of the highly virulent avian flu virus H5N1 across West Africa, further spread across the region and beyond is inevitable, FAO said today. To this end, the agency is calling for $20 million for prevention and response activities. The call follows outbreaks of the virus in poultry farms, markets and family holdings in Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Niger, Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana. The outbreak comes as countries across West Africa are still recovering from, and in some cases still battling, Ebola. Avian flu could trigger a mass die-off of chicken – a nutritious and inexpensive source of food for many people– with detrimental impacts on diets and on the economy of the region, exacerbating an already difficult situation." http://thepoint.gm/africa/gambia/article/worries-rise-over-outbreaks-of-avian-flu-in-west-africa [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
