Avian influenza (AI) is an Office International des Epizooties listed disease that has become a disease of great importance both for animal and human health. The increased relevance of AI in animal and human health has highlighted the lack of scientific information on several aspects of the disease, which has hampered the adequate management of some of the recent crises. Millions of animals have died, and there is growing concern over the loss of human lives and over the management of the pandemic potential. The present article reviews the currently available control methods for notifiable AI infections in poultry. The application of control policies, ranging from stamping out to emergency and prophylactic vaccination, is discussed on the basis of data generated in recent outbreaks and in light of new regulations, also in view of the maintenance of animal welfare. Poultry veterinarians working for the industry or for the public sector represent the first line of defense against the pandemic threat and for the prevention and control of this infection in poultry and in wild birds.
禽流感（AI）是国际兽疫局列出的一种疾病，它已成为对动物和人类健康都极为重要的一种疾病。禽流感在动物和人类健康方面日益增加的相关性凸显了在该疾病几个方面缺乏科学信息，这阻碍了对近期一些危机的妥善管理。数以百万计的动物死亡，人们越来越担心人员生命损失以及大流行潜力的管控。本文综述了目前针对家禽中应通报禽流感感染的可用控制方法。根据近期疫情产生的数据，并鉴于新的法规，同时考虑到动物福利的维护，讨论了从扑杀到紧急和预防性疫苗接种等控制政策的应用。为该行业或公共部门工作的家禽兽医是抵御大流行威胁以及预防和控制家禽及野生鸟类中这种感染的第一道防线。
