Over the past week, almost 90 of the region’s commercial poultry flocks have been confirmed with infections of the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), while cases in wild birds have been found even more widely across Europe.
So far this year, a total of 577 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks on poultry farms have been reported in 23 countries across Europe.
The total has now surpassed the figure for the whole of 2023 and 2024, which were 451 and 521, respectively. This is according to the European Commission(EC), whose latest update of its Animal Disease Information System (November 26) covers listed animal diseases in European Union (EU) member states and selected adjacent countries. These include Türkiye, but exclude Great Britain.
In 2025 to date, presence of the H5N1 serotype of the HPAI virus has been detected at each location.
