A total of 5 Asian nations have teamed up for bird flu research. These 5 Asian nations include Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam This is extremely beneficial as Asian countries have suffered the most and Asian is one of the predominant countries that stands out during this bird flu crisis. These five Asian countries have established a partnership to help identify and research cases of the bird flu in order to learn more and hopefully be able to find tools and resources through this partner ship which will give them the knowledge they need to take the necessary precautions in preventing this virus from spreading and turning into a world wide pandemic. The The Asian Research Partnership on Pandemic Influenza is for the most part founded by Canada’s International Development Research Center. The International Development Research Center of Canada has spent $1.8 million for the research of this h5n1 influenza virus. There are currently studying and researching the possibility of vaccinating poultry in order to prevent the spread of this h5n1 virus. There are many benefits to having these five nations partner up for the research of controlling the h5n1 virus. For one, each of these countries have very differnt types of controling the spread of this virus and by them partnering up together they can hopefully find and research the most effective way in dealing with this virus and preventing it from spearding and turning into a pandemic. Many have faith that this partnership will bring a lot of knowlege and good.
