Short description of project
  Genetic markers for AI resistance will be discovered and assessed by microsatellite, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and sequencing analyses in AI positive samples. All participants will be trained in molecular and nuclear technologies for gene expression, automated sequencing and microsatellite analysis. Each partner will perform AI in accordance with the European Union’s Council Directives and The World Organization for Animal Health Terrestrial Animals Code. 
Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner
  The task of this project will improve the early warning approach and surveillance of Avian Influenza in the Balkans and in part of Asia. Suggested genetic markers for AI resistance will be used in future selection programmes for AI resistant domestic birds. The entire region will be better prepared for eradication of possible bird flu pandemics using the established interstate collaboration network.
