Bird Flu

Get the latest Bird Flu news, research and developments covering avian influenza outbreaks, poultry health, disease surveillance, biosecurity and measures to control the spread of influenza viruses among domestic and wild birds. This tag brings together developments affecting poultry farms, egg and meat production, livestock systems, trade and agricultural livelihoods.

Coverage includes H5N1 and other avian influenza strains, outbreak detection, diagnostics, vaccination research, biosecurity, epidemiological surveillance and One Health initiatives. Developments are tracked across commercial poultry, backyard flocks and wild-bird populations, along with research into transmission, disease prevention and the movement of viruses between animal populations. Recent FAO surveillance reported hundreds of HPAI events across multiple countries, while EFSA has continued monitoring H5N1 activity in Europe and other regions.

Find news on outbreaks, poultry control measures, vaccines, diagnostics, regulatory responses, trade restrictions and research programmes. Coverage also tracks the impact on poultry producers and agricultural supply chains, including developments in India and other major poultry markets. Current international surveillance continues to emphasise early detection, farm biosecurity and coordinated animal-health responses as important tools for limiting transmission.
