Avian influenza (AI) is an OIE-listed disease that has become of great importance both for animal and for human health. The increased relevance of AI in the fields of animal and human health, has highlighted the lack of scientific information on several aspects of the disease; this has hampered the adequate management of some of the recent crises, thus resulting in millions of dead animals and concern over loss of human lives and over management of the pandemic potential. The present paper aims to identify areas of knowledge of veterinary competence that need to be explored to generate information to support the global AI crisis. Given the current situation, it is imperative that close collaboration is sought and achieved by public health officials involved in the veterinary and medical aspects of the disease. In fact, only through the exchange of data, experiences, views and information will it be possible to combat this zoonosis that represents a major threat to public health and animal well-being.
禽流感（AI）是一种世界动物卫生组织（OIE）列出的疾病，对动物健康和人类健康都已变得极为重要。禽流感在动物和人类健康领域的相关性日益增加，凸显了在该疾病几个方面缺乏科学信息的问题；这阻碍了对近期一些危机的妥善管理，从而导致数百万动物死亡，并引发了对人类生命损失以及大流行潜在风险管理的担忧。本文旨在确定兽医专业知识中需要探索的领域，以生成支持全球禽流感危机应对的信息。鉴于当前形势，参与该疾病兽医和医学方面工作的公共卫生官员必须寻求并实现密切合作。事实上，只有通过数据、经验、观点和信息的交流，才有可能抗击这种对公共卫生和动物福祉构成重大威胁的人畜共患病。
