The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is taking action to coordinate responses to the spread of avian influenza in Latin America, following confirmed cases in Peru and other countries. The organization will provide technical and logistical support to affected countries, including Peru, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Venezuela. Avian influenza is a viral disease that affects domestic and wild birds, with no specific treatment. The disease has the potential to significantly impact bird production, international trade, and the livelihoods of people. The FAO is urging the public to remain calm and emphasizing that the organization has been actively warning about the situation since March. The spread of the disease from North America to South America is due to migratory birds.
