| Avian
influenza, or 'bird flu', is a communicable disease caused by viruses
that normally infect only birds but on rare occasions have infected
humans. Whilst there are a number of subtypes, only influenza A viruses
of the H5 and H7 subtypes are known to cause the 'highly pathogenic'
from (causing high mortality in poultry) of the disease, most notably
the H5N1 subtype. However, not all viruses of the H5 and H7 subtypes
are highly pathogenic and not all will cause severe disease in poultry
or transfer to humans. The main route of human infection by avian
influenza is presently considered to be by direct contact with surfaces
and objects contaminated with faeces. Human to human spread of the
disease is very rare, if it occurs at all.
Avian influenza virus can be considered as a new or emerging pathogen which is capable of causing life threatening or fatal disease in otherwise healthy humans or animals. However, classification is also based on the form in which a specimen is to be offered for transport. The following guidance is offered: Category A - Cultures, faeces, carcasses or other products (e.g. blood) derived from animals known or suspected to have been infected with the A(H4N1) avian influenza virus. Category B - Human blood and other human samples known or suspected to contain the A(H5N1) subtype, or cultures, faeces, carcasses, blood or other samples known or suspected to contain any other subtype or avian influenza virus. Further information on avian influenza is available from the World Health Organisation website. Emballages de transport de carcasses / de prélèvements sur site Les emballages de transport de carcasses / de prélèvements sont conçus pour répondre aux processus depuis le prélèvement sur site jusqu'à l'analyse en laboratoire, avec une sécurité biologique du prélèvement pendant le transport. Tous les systèmes de transport de carcasses répondent aux réglementations UN et il existe une solution adaptée disponible pour le transport de prélèvements de diagnostiques (UN 3373), qu'il s'agisse de liquides ou de solides. DGP propose également un Equipement de Protection individuelle (EPI) nécessaire à la sécurité du personnel lors du prélèvement et l'analyse d'échantillons et pour éviter tout contact inutile avec les prélèvements.
