The Accra Veterinary Laboratory has held training on Avian Influenza, commonly known as bird flu, for laboratory workers in the West African sub-region.
With support from the United States Development for Agriculture (USDA), the five-day training brought together 25 participants from Nigeria, The Gambia, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Niger.
The training was to equip participants with additional knowledge and expertise to effectively maintain surveillance, manage any poultry disease outbreak and trace contacts to control any disease.
...
The Head of the Accra Veterinary Laboratory, Dr Joseph Adongo Awuni, said the training was timely, since the sub-region, except The Gambia, was facing outbreak of Avian Influenza.
...
A participant from The Gambia, Mrs Tida Ceesay Bojang, said although The Gambia had not recorded any case of Avian Influenza yet, other diseases were endemic in that country.
