It also comes as health authorities around the world are monitoring bird flu outbreaks among US livestock.
The Associated Press viewed a copy of Nkengasong's memo, which said the stop-work policy applied to all CDC staff engaging with WHO through technical working groups, coordinating centres, advisory boards, cooperative agreements or other means  in person or virtual. It also says CDC staff are not allowed
