Outbreaks of infectious disease could impact bird populations along this route, and is expected to have a negative influence on captive bird populations. Here, we provide a brief overview of the situation regarding avian influenza (AI) in both free-ranging and captive avian species in Japan. We also suggest suitable countermeasures for the prevention and management of AI outbreaks in zoological gardens and aquariums, with special reference to the control of free-ranging duck populations and/or individuals and the nationwide surveillance of AI viruses. Furthermore, we have disclosed the prominence of vaccination program for zoological collections in Japan.}, pages = {167--171}, title = {Countermeasures for avian influenza outbreaks among captive avian collections at zoological gardens and aquariums in Japan}, volume = {7}, year = {2019} }
