OFFLU

OIE-FAO Network of Expertise on Influenza



About OFFLU

OFFLU is the joint OIE-FAO network of expertise on influenza, established in
2005 to support international efforts to monitor and control avian influenza
infections in poultry and other bird species and to share biological material
and data to support the early development of human pandemic vaccines. With the
emergence of the H1N1 virus in humans in 2009, containing genetic components
similar to swine and avian elements, the network resources are being mobilized
to support international efforts to combat this new threat. OFFLU will
strengthen links within our animal health network and will collaborate with the
existing WHO influenza network on all matters relevant to public health

Objectives

 * To exchange scientific data and biological materials (including virus
   strains) within the network, to analyze such data, and to share such
   information with the broader scientific community.
 * To offer technical advice, training, and veterinary expertise to Member
   Countries to assist in the prevention, diagnosis, surveillance, and control
   of animal influenza.
 * To collaborate with the WHO influenza network on issues relating to the
   animal-human interface, including early preparation of human vaccine.
 * To highlight influenza research needs, promote their development, and ensure
   coordination.
 * To provide primary PDF forms and templates so the community can access
   quality documentation.

A medical power of attorney form is a critical legal document that allows an
individual to appoint someone they trust to make healthcare decisions on their
behalf should they become unable to do so themselves. The specifics of these
forms can vary by state, reflecting local legal requirements and healthcare
mandates.

The health care power of attorney in California ensures that a designated agent
has the authority to make all necessary medical decisions, including treatments
and healthcare providers, according to the grantor's preferences.

The Texas medical power of attorney allows residents to appoint a health care
agent to make decisions regarding routine medical care and life-sustaining
treatments that align with the principal’s wishes.

The Florida medical power of attorney form typically includes stipulations that
empower the agent to make decisions about the principal's medical care,
including the ability to access medical records and decide on living
arrangements when necessary.

NY residents use a medical power of attorney in New York to ensure their
healthcare preferences are honored. This form may be part of an advance
directive that includes living will provisions.

The Pennsylvania health care power of attorney grants an agent broad powers to
handle healthcare decisions. This power becomes effective when the principal is
determined to be incapable of making healthcare decisions themselves.

The Illinois power of attorney for health care is designed to comply with
Illinois law, allowing appointees to make a broad range of healthcare decisions
based on the principal's stated wishes and best interests.

The Ohio healthcare power of attorney enables a trusted individual to make all
necessary medical decisions. It provides peace of mind that the principal's
health care will be in trusted hands when they cannot make decisions for
themselves.

The medical power of attorney in Georgia ensures that designated agents are
legally empowered to make health-related decisions, adhering to the principal’s
prior directives and overall healthcare philosophy.

The North Carolina medical power of attorney allows principals to specify which
decisions their agents can make, including choices about medical treatments and
end-of-life care.

The medical power of attorney in Michigan often includes details about the
appointment of a healthcare advocate and the specific types of decisions they
are authorized to make, ensuring all medical decisions align with the
principal's values and desires.

The health care power of attorney in Washington state allows for the designation
of an agent to manage healthcare decisions, reflecting the specific legal
requirements and healthcare nuances of Washington state law.

Lastly, the medical power of attorney in Indiana grants an appointed agent the
authority to make all medical decisions for the principal, tailored to meet the
specific statutes and healthcare regulations of Indiana.

Publicly Available Influenza Sequence Databases

In response to the pandemic influenza A subtype H1N1 in people, it is crucial
that genetic sequences of all relevant animal influenza viruses are deposited in
publicly available databases quickly. These sequences may provide critical
information to understand better the current influenza A H1N1 viruses circulate
in humans and therefore help reduce risks to human and animal health.

OFFLU urges all animal health laboratories to immediately deposit genetic
sequences of influenza A subtype H1N1 from swine or of swine-origin and any
other relevant influenza A viral sequences into publicly available databases.

The following links provide access to publicly accessible sequence databases:

If you know of any other available sequence databases or tools for analyzing
such data, please contact the OFFLU Secretariat (offlu@oie.int) so that OFFLU
can disseminate this information.

Dear OFFLU Collaborator,

I am sure you are aware of the recent cases of influenza A infection in humans
in Mexico, the US, and several other countries. At this stage, infection with
this newly identified strain of H1N1 appears to be limited to humans, and viral
gene sequencing shows that it contains porcine, avian, and human-origin genes.

The human and animal health networks will be working together very closely to
understand the origins of this H1N1 strain and to minimize risks to human and
potential risks to animal health. The mandate of OFFLU has, until now, been
limited to avian influenza viruses. However, this must be extended to cover all
animal influenza viruses where scientific evidence demonstrates a public health
concern.

It is responsible for OFFLU to ensure that information about animal influenza
viruses is shared quickly and efficiently within the animal health network and
that relevant information is shared through OFFLU with WHO. OFFLU Scientists can
work on the sequence and other virus characterization analyses.

Kind regards,

Steve Edwards (Chairman of OFFLU)
