Cases of Avian Influenza (bird flu) have recently been reported in various parts of Southeast Asia. These observations are concerning considering the absence of bird flu in much of SE Asia for years. For example, in Cambodia, 11 laboratory-confirmed human cases of bird flu were notified to the World Health Organisation recently.

Enhanced biosecurity measures can reduce the risk of further transmission of this highly infectious viral disease as bird flu containment relies on high-quality biosecurity practices, including the eradication of the causative virus from poultry environments.

Moreover, utilising the UK government’s DEFRA approved disinfectants as part of a complete biosecurity programme technical credibility of the programme can be enhanced. Mirius produces a range of products such as Omnicide which is examined, tested and approved by the DEFRA.
