Incineration

Complete combustion of organic compounds. This is a biologically safe method but may be slow and expensive. There may be concerns about air pollution.

Indemnification

The act of compensation.

Live Bird Market

Live bird markets are typically permanent structures in which birds can be housed until they are sold. Live bird markets bring together a mixture of bird species that are commonly produced by multiple suppliers. The mixture of species, the lack of all-in–all-out management, and multiple suppliers are all features that make LBM potential sources of avian influenza viruses (AIV), especially for their supply flocks.

LPAI

Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza

Microbe

A very tiny living organism, such as a bacterium, fungus, protozoan or virus.

Monitoring

To observe and check the progress or quality of something over a period of time.
