  • identify critical virological characteristics for the emergence of zoonotic and pandemic viruses
  • evaluate external factors affecting the evolution and emergence of a pandemic strain, and identify monitoring mechanisms for pandemic strain emergence
  • identify likely modes of transmission and exposure sources for zoonotic infection with avian influenza viruses
  • maximise outcome of ongoing research and preparedness efforts, and identify gaps in knowledge
