This brochure makes the economic and operational case for routine, decentralized surveillance testing for avian influenza. The core argument is that frequent on-site testing catches outbreaks earlier, and that early detection is far less costly than the mortality, movement restrictions, and disruption that follow undetected spread.
It frames Alveo Sense as the enabling tool for an affordable surveillance program - fast testing that can be run often and close to the birds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why invest in routine surveillance testing?
Early detection may limit the collateral spread of avian influenza which impacts downstream costs of an outbreak. With Alveo Sense, users gain faster response times, decreased response costs, and a measurable return on disease prevention.
How does on-site testing lower the cost of surveillance?
Preventing a percentage of avian influenza outbreaks annually can offset the cost of running a full scale surveillance program.
How often should we test?
Dead bird monitoring is key to early detection. Earliest possible detection is obtained from the highest testing frequency, i.e. weekly. Please refer to local and national authorities for testing frequency guidelines.
