Barbados strengthens port surveillance after Suriname bird flu outbreak
Barbados has increased surveillance at its ports of entry following an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Suriname to prevent its spread.
Background
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu, is a severe viral disease that can spread rapidly among bird populations and, in rare cases, to humans. Outbreaks in one country often lead neighboring nations to implement preventative measures to protect their own poultry industries and public health.
