CDC coordinates with the World Health Organization and other international partners to minimize the public health risk posed by bird flu viruses.īoth HPAI and LPAI A virus outbreaks occur among poultry sporadically in the United States. Department of Agriculture’s 2022 Detections of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza webpage. 3 (Xinhua) - Israel has detected an outbreak of the pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in a northern village, the states Ministry of Agriculture. More information is available from the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH’s) World Animal Health Information Database (WAHID), HANDISTATUS II HANDISTATUS II (oie.int) and U.S. Outbreaks of avian influenza (bird flu) among poultry occur periodically worldwide. During the peaks in 20, about a quarter of the world’s countries were affected with HPAI A viruses, according to WOAH. Between 20, HPAI A viruses resulted in the death and mass slaughter of more than 246 million poultry worldwide, with peaks in 20, according to WOAH. Three other outbreaks of bird flu were discovered in chicken coops in Ein HaHoresh in the Hefer Valley, the Ram-On moshav in Gilboa and in Givat Yoav in the.WOAH data collected on 18,620 HPAI A virus outbreaks in poultry between 20 reported by 76 affected countries and territories showed that spread of HPAI A virus among birds typically is lowest in September, begins to rise in October, and peaks in February. A bird flu outbreak has killed thousands of wild cranes on a reserve in northern Israel, an unusually high toll for the seasonal flu, the parks authority said Sunday.Ongoing HPAI A(H5N1) virus poultry outbreaks for which there were new reported outbreaks included Africa (Nigeria), Asia (Israel, Japan, Korea, Vietnam) and Europe (Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary.)

From late 2021 to current 2022, the predominant HPAI A(H5) virus subtype causing poultry outbreaks worldwide is A(H5N1), according to WOAH.*Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and Low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) are described in the “ Classification of bird flu viruses” section. More information is available in CDC spotlight articles.Preliminary genetic sequence data from some of the H5N1 bird flu viruses obtained from infected poultry suggests they belong to clade 2.3.4.4b, like most of the viruses recently detected in wild birds in the United States. Since February 2022, some H5N1 bird flu infections in the United States have occurred in commercial turkeys.
