1. Breed changes have always reduced the severity of the disease. reduce the severity of the disease for the survival of the virus and species that are easily spread the intensity will decrease
2. Less violence causes a large number of asymptomatic infections or without many symptoms so difficult to control

4. In the early stages, there were strict measures. Close the house, close the city, don’t travel, but it can’t stop the disease from spreading. It can be seen that when a new species emerges, it can also spread across the world.
5. Protection of new species from travelers from abroad in the current state so it is impossible to stop Used only for surveillance of breed checks.
6. Although there are inspection measures before travel as in the past It cannot prevent new species that will enter the epidemic It is slow or fast.
7. During the early stages of diagnosis to prevent the spread of the disease Therefore, a very sensitive diagnostic test, RT PCR, was used later when the severity decreased. With low detection sensitivity, about 80% ATK is acceptable, it is used. because it is much cheaper and the exam will reduce further It will be examined for those with symptoms for diagnosis purposes only.
