Abstract
The report provides an assessment and representation of the spread of the avian influenza (AI) virus from domestic poultry to wild birds, and a schematic representation that summarizes the global cycle of AI. Transmission from shorebirds and waterfowl, through domestic fowl and mammals to humans is as yet unproven. A Preparedness Plan will establish an Early Detection network for the H5N1 virus in wild and migratory birds in Cambodia; develop an on-going training program to strengthen the capacity of the support team and Wildlife Protection Office; and enhance field staff monitoring activities associated with H5N1 in wild and migratory birds.
