Tiivistelmä
Year 2006 was characterised by enhanced preparedness for a pandemic, as outbreaks of the avian influenza subtype A H5N1 in wild and domestic birds were becoming geographically more widespread. The nature of the global pandemic threat did not change from previous years, as the virus was still very poorly transmissible to humans. No human transmissions were diagnosed in Europe despite outbreaks early in 2006 in most European countries, almost solely in wild birds. The repeated, extensive international biothreats early in the 2000s (intentionally-spread anthrax as well as SARS and H5N1 influenza) created the need to enhance the preparedness to control sudden, extensive biothreats. These efforts also generally reinforce the co-operation mechanisms and resources for infection control.
