WeCAHN Year Five Summary of Activities

The term “ubuntu” may refer to a shareware version of Linux, or an African word which has been translated as “I am because you are”. Both usages are pertinent to WeCAHN, an animal health surveillance system in which participants share and analyse large quantities of animal health data, and meet to give the data meaning. The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak in mammals occurring over 2024 in North America brought examples of ubuntu across the WeCAHN networks, as western Canada worked to understand complex HPAI datasets and give them meaning.

WeCAHN networks' responses to HPAI and other animal health events throughout the year are discussed.
