Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, FAO, said it will take a decade to kill the H5N1 virus causing bird flu in six countries where the virus is sticking its head in China, India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia and Vietnam .
FAO and OIE, Veterinary institutions of the United Nations, released a report Thursday calling for the implementation of a five-year strategy to improve veterinary services and public health and industrial upgrading livestock pledge to make the virus difficult to spread.
The report said six countries where the virus is still a problem, with vast poultry industry and poultry are raised in ways that are less protected against viruses.
These countries also lack the strong veterinary services to detect and react quickly once the outbreak. The report also said that these countries lack the determination to aggressively deal with the disease.
Since being discovered in Hong Kong in the last years of the 1990s, the H5N1 bird flu virus has spread to 60 countries. Tens of millions of chickens, ducks and other poultry have been infected or culled to prevent further spread.
H5N1 spread easily in birds and kill them quickly.
More than 500 people infected with this virus, of whom more than 300 people were killed. More and more people become infected because of contact with sick poultry and flu experts said they worry that one day the virus can adapt more easily to spread to more people.
