Abstract
in English, Spanish

The complexity of influenza A virus (IAV) infections in avian hosts leads to equally complex scenarios for the vaccination of poultry. Vaccination against avian influenza strains can be used to prevent infections from sources with a single strain of IAV. It has been used as a part of outbreak control strategies as well as a way to maintain production for both low and high pathogenicity outbreaks. Unlike other viral pathogens of birds, avian influenza vaccination when used against highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, is tied to international trade and thus is not freely available for use without specific permission.

Vacunación de aves comerciales contra la influenza aviar. La complejidad de las infecciones por el virus de la influenza A en las aves hospedadoras conduce a escenarios igualmente complejos para la vacunación en la avicultura. La vacunación contra cepas de influenza aviar se puede utilizar para prevenir infecciones provenientes de fuentes con una sola cepa del virus de influenza. Se ha utilizado como parte de las estrategias de control de brotes, así como como una forma de mantener la producción tanto en brotes de baja como de alta patogenicidad. A diferencia de otros patógenos virales de las aves, la vacunación contra la influenza aviar, cuando se usa contra el virus de la influenza aviar altamente patógeno, está vinculada al comercio internacional y por lo tanto, no está disponible para su uso sin un permiso específico.
