United Nations (UN) Avian Influenza and the Pandemic Threat
The purpose of this portal is to bring news and information about Avian Influenza and the Pandemic Threat from across the UN system into one place. Since 2003, a devastating epidemic of avian influenza caused by the highly lethal H5N1 virus has predominately affected poultry flocks in many countries in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. Over a hundred people that mainly had direct contact with infected birds have died; most cases have occurred in previously healthy children and young adults.

FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all.

HealthMap provides a jumping-off point for real-time information on emerging infectious diseases and has particular interest for public health officials and international travelers.
