Epidemiology Source of the outbreak(s) or origin of infection Contact with wild species Epidemiological comments La notification concerne des animaux sauvages . L??pisode de mortalit? sur de la faune sauvage, survenant dans une zone o? le niveau de risque avait ?t? consid?r? comme ?lev? (arr?t? minist?riel du 16 novembre 2016 qualifiant le niveau de risque en mati?re d?influenza aviaire), les ?levages de volailles font donc depuis cette date l?objet de mesures de bios?curit? accrues et de confinement. Une enqu?te ?pid?miologique a ?t? men?e et les mesures de surveillance sont renforc?es autour du foyer.
