“Management of the Program, and
Ecology of infectious agents for the prevention
and control of zoonoses” |
|
|
For the preparedness for and control of avian and human influenza, Prof. Hiroshi Kida has been devoted himself in elucidating molecular basis of the ecology and pathogenicity of influenza viruses in nature, birds, mammals including humans, and mechanisms of the emergence of pandemic influenza virus strains in poultry, domestic animals and humans. Japan Academy Prize was awarded to Prof. Hiroshi Kida for “Studies on Control of Influenza ーMechanism of Emergence of Pandemic Influenza Virus Strains in Poultry, Domestic Animals and Humans, and Molecular Basis of the Neutralization of Viral Infectivity with Antibodiesー” in 2005. He was selected as a Member of the Japan Academy in 2007.
In the present Program of Global Center of Excellence, he will continue to conduct global surveillance of avian and mammalian including human influenza, diagnosis, and training of researchers and technical officers in the world as a member of WHO human/animal interface surveillance network and OIE/FAO World Reference Laboratory. In Japan, he will continue to direct the policy for the prevention and control of avian influenza as the Chairman of the Committee for the Control of Avian Diseases, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
He will establish a library of non-pathogenic avian influenza virus strains of 144 combinations of HA and NA subtypes and their genes for vaccine strain candidates and diagnostic use and open to supply for the world. Using virus strains of the library, he will develop effective vaccines for poultry and human use.
He will foster Zoonosis Control Doctors who will contribute to prevention and control of zoonoses in the world.
