"DIVA" was a successful strategy to eradicate Avian Influenza in Italy
Italy has suffered severely from an outbreak of Avian Influenza. The
unpredictable behaviour of the virus and ruling EU legislation made it difficult
to control the devastating disease. The "DIVA" strategy made it possible to
vaccinate the birds and differentiate them from naturally infected
birds.
