Estima, Maurício Tavares, Paula L. Canabarro, Silvina Botta, Liane A. Dias, Andrine P. da Silva, Derek B. de Amorim, Larissa R. de Oliveira Abstract: Last year, a significant outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza impacted the Atlantic coast following mass mortalities recorded in the Pacific.

We also discuss the lessons learned from managing this crisis and suggest standard practices, and areas of priority in advance of potential future outbreaks For those interested, the full text is available at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/mms.13163 Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you would like a copy.
