One of our major concerns is now the potential spread of avian influenza through migratory birds to northern and eastern Africa, ... There is serious risk that this scenario may become a reality.
Given that it is a highly contagious disease, we were sure it could spread from one region to another, either through wildlife or through trade and movements of products. So this happened and we are not surprised at all.
Birds play a role in the primary infection of the country, but then after that there's no need for wildlife. It will spread very easily from one village to another through trade,
Every time there is a specific festival, which has a consequence of movement, it is a period where the spread of pathogens is higher.
The movement and trade of poultry have strongly contributed to the further spread of the virus.
