Equine influenza strategy.
Queensland has in place a strategy of eradication for equine influenza. This is to be achieved through a combination of strategic vaccination, rigorous movement restrictions and good biosecurity practices.
The strategy has been approved by the National Management Group (NMG) overseeing the equine influenza response after review and endorsement by the national technical advisory group, the Consultative Committee on Emergency Animal Disease (CCEAD). All activities undertaken as part of the eradication strategy in Queensland meet the terms of the Australian Veterinary Emergencies Plan (AUSVETPLAN).
