BIRD FLU –HOW WORRIED SHOULD WE BE?

There has been another outbreak of Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) in Namibia. So far it has mostly affected Cape Cormorants, and only along the central coast. Should we be worried? Three speakers will describe:
i) the outbreak on the Guano Platform in Walvis Bay,
ii) the risks to other wild birds, domestic poultry and humans,
iii) the response from the Government veterinary department.

PRESENTERS
Mr Mark Groenewald, Atlantic Guano
