Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1), commonly referred to as bird flu, has been making headlines around the world, as the virus rapidly spreads to new animal species. Already the cause of a panzootic (global animal pandemic), last month a human H5N1 case was reported in the U.S. after likely contracting it from infected dairy cattle. The virus has now been detected in dairy herds across multiple states, with evidence to suggest it has been spreading more widely than previously thought — begging the question: Are we at risk for an avian influenza-instigated pandemic?
Join BlueDot for a deep dive into avian influenza as we explore why and how organizations should prepare to safeguard against bird flu. Together, through collaborative efforts and informed decision-making, we can mitigate the risk of increased transmission to humans. BlueDot’s experts have been closely monitoring the situation and potential risks, issuing multiple alerts on H5N1 — and other avian influenzas — over the past 15 months.
In this session, our experts will cover:
- Current landscape: Get the most recent insights into avian influenza outbreaks around the globe — and what sets H5N1 apart. Our team will dissect the latest surveillance, providing a clear and detailed overview of the current state-of-affairs.
- Strategies for understanding severity and informing response: Our experts will explore the threat H5N1 poses, the ways the situation could evolve, and offer insights into when and how your strategy may need to change.
- Harnessing the power of human and artificial intelligence: We’ll showcase how near real-time intelligence and human expertise work together to stay on top of rapidly evolving situations for timely decision-making and H5N1 intervention strategies.
- Q&A session: Our interactive Q&A session provides a platform for attendees to engage directly with our panel of experts live during the webinar.
