    Avian influenza: the situation in France

    The national health situation with regard to avian influenza had improved in France since the beginning of May, with the return to a level of risk classified as “negligible”. However, since mid-May, a sharp increase in cases has been observed in “indigenous” wildlife on the Channel coast. And two outbreaks in breeding were confirmed on July 29 and 30 in the Manche and the Somme.

    Location on the northern coast of France

    Since mid-May, grouped mortalities of coastal birds have been observed first in the coastal departments of Hauts de France (Nord, Pas-de-Calais, Somme) mainly among gulls (gulls, gulls and terns) then these mortalities appeared during June on the Normandy coasts (Seine-maritime, Calvados, Manche) to be observed in July on the Brittany coasts (Côtes d'Armor). Since then, these observations have been regular on these 7 departments on the coasts but also sometimes inland.

    These mortalities are monitored as part of the SAGIR network (national system for monitoring the health of wildlife) which carries out analyses. ANSES's National Reference Laboratory (NRL) has confirmed the presence of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in more than sixty events in wildlife on the Channel coast.

    Note that the term "event" does not give the number of animals found dead (this number can vary from 1 to ten).

    Temporary wildlife control zones (ZCT-FS) have been established, in consultation with the DDecPPs concerned, around confirmed cases of HPAI. In these areas, various measures have been introduced, the objective of which is to strengthen surveillance of wildlife and poultry farms and to raise awareness among professionals of compliance with biosecurity measures.

    This increase in cases of HPAI in wildlife extends to other countries of the European Union, cases essentially grouped together at coastal level.

    The situation is exceptional (never encountered in France before) due to its scale and the period when the detections are taking place.
    Although the regulatory level of risk has returned to the negligible level (see below), environmental contamination remains high in the regions where wild bird mortality and the spread of this contamination are observed (and the risk of introduction of the virus into poultry farms) can occur as a result of movements to settle populations of wild birds.


    Strict compliance with biosecurity rules and bird monitoring are more important than ever.

    Protection measures in the event of outbreaks and cases in wildlife

    Health policy measures are taken each time an outbreak is detected in order to limit the spread of the virus:
    • Slaughter of outbreaks and, if necessary, preventive slaughter of animals within a perimeter defined by prefectural order to limit the spread of the disease;
    • Cleaning and disinfection of homes;
    • Prohibition of poultry movements in the protection (ZP) and surveillance (ZS) zones defined around the outbreaks.
    When it comes to confirmed cases in wildlife, temporary control zones (ZCT) are set up.

    REMINDER : The consumption of meat, foie gras and eggs – and more generally of any poultry-based food product – does not present any risk for humans .

    Situation in France from August 2021 to May 2022

    Since August 2021, numerous outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) have been detected in wildlife or in farms in Europe. The health authorities of many Member States (the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, etc.) have notified outbreaks in poultry farms (turkeys and broiler chickens, laying hens). Thirty-six countries are today affected by the epizootic on the whole of the European continent.

            Avian influenza: the situation in France

            The health situation with regard to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has deteriorated in recent weeks. The number of cases of avian influenza in livestock and in wildlife is increasing sharply in metropolitan France. With the approach of autumn, a period of risk due to the drop in temperatures and the start of bird migrations, the level of risk has been raised from "negligible" to "moderate" throughout the national territory. . From October 2, this change will be accompanied by a strengthening of the surveillance of poultry farms and protective measures.

            As of September 30, 18 breeding outbreaks have been confirmed since August 1.

                    Avian influenza: new measures adopted for the Brittany and Pays de la Loire regions


                    Given the health situation which has deteriorated in recent days, new specific protective measures have been decided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty for the regions of Brittany and Pays de la Loire. In these two regions, the risk of rapid spread of the virus is reinforced by a high number of farms.

                    Spared until the end of July, poultry farms are now affected with, as of October 14, 25 outbreaks in livestock confirmed in 12 departments, including 17 outbreaks in the Brittany and Pays de la Loire regions (see map below). below).

                    Since October 2, the level of risk has been raised from " low " to " moderate " throughout the territory , accompanied by a strengthening of the surveillance of poultry farms and protective measures ; in a context of falling temperatures and the beginning of migrations.

                    In areas with a high concentration of poultry, known as " areas at risk of dissemination (ZRD) " , ANSES recommends strengthening preventive measures to avoid rapid spread of the virus once a case has been declared . é in the area.

                    In order to improve the protection of farms, prevention measures are thus further reinforced in the departments of the Brittany and Pays de la Loire regions as well as in Deux-Sèvres. A temporary control zone (ZCT) is applied throughout the territory of these regions and departments. Throughout this area, sheltering is compulsory and regular tests in breeding and before any movement are put in place.

                    In addition, throughout this area, the placement of poultry will be subject to the completion of a favorable biosecurity audit.

                    The deployment of these new prevention measures is made possible by the unanimous desire of the professional sectors to fight against the avian influenza virus.

                    Departmental services will be actively mobilized alongside the operators concerned to support their implementation.

                    A reduction in compensation in the event of non-compliance by breeders with the rules in force will be applied.

                    General health prevention measures are more important than ever and professionals and individuals alike are invited to respect them :

                      Avian influenza: the situation in France


                      The health situation with regard to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has deteriorated in recent weeks. The number of cases of avian influenza in livestock and in wildlife is increasing sharply in metropolitan France. With the approach of autumn, a period of risk due to the drop in temperatures and the start of bird migrations, the level of risk has been raised from "negligible" to "moderate" throughout the national territory. . As of October 2, this change is accompanied by a strengthening of the surveillance of poultry farms and protective measures.

                      As of October 25, 36 outbreaks on farms have been confirmed since August 1.

                          November 10, 2022 Press release

                          Avian influenza: faced with a worsening epidemiological situation, France is moving to a "high" risk level


                          The number of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza has continued to increase in recent weeks in France and in Europe. Faced with this situation, Marc FESNEAU, Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, took the decision to raise the level of epizootic risk vis-à-vis avian influenza from "moderate" to "high" on the metropolitan territory. Prevention measures are reinforced to protect farms.

                          As of November 8, 49 outbreaks in livestock have been confirmed in France. Cases in farmyards and in wildlife are also numerous and increasing.

                          In a context marked by unprecedented persistence of the virus in the environment and strong migratory activity of wild birds, it is essential to strengthen preventive measures to avoid contamination of poultry farms .

                          The change to the " high " risk level strengthens the arsenal of protection for poultry farms and generalizes the prevention measures :
                          • In breeding :
                          - Sheltering of all poultry throughout the metropolitan territory
                          - Prohibition of gatherings of poultry throughout the metropolitan territory
                          - Obligation to cover trucks transporting waterfowl older than 3 days.
                          • For hunting activities (hunting) :
                          - Authorization to transport and use decoys for category 1 holders only (holders with less than 15 decoys) ;
                          - Movements of game birds subject to conditions (clinical examination, Anatidae virological screening) ;
                          - Return in kind of game birds Anatidae prohibited.
                          • For zoological parks : compulsory vaccination in zoos of birds that cannot be sheltered.
                          • For racing pigeons : ban on racing pigeon competitions departing from or arriving in France until March 31.
                          For all players in the sector, it is a question of reinforcing vigilance and ensuring the strictest application of biosecurity measures to prevent the virus from entering farms and avoid its spread between farms. The same recommendations apply to private owners of backyard and ornamental birds.

                          The departmental services will be required to carry out checks on compliance with the applicable measures due to the increased level of risk. A reduction in compensation in the event of non-compliance by breeders with the rules in force will also be implemented.

                          This increase in the level of risk was decided after consultation with ANSES and the French Office for Biodiversity (OFB), which observed active flows of migratory birds and an unusually high number of outbreaks for the period. It was the subject of prior information to the stakeholders.

                          In accordance with the July 29 action plan, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty and its services are fully committed alongside professional players in the fight against avian influenza.

                          REMINDER : the consumption of meat, foie gras and eggs and more generally any poultry - based food product presents no risk to humans .

                          The health situation with regard to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has continued to deteriorate in recent weeks. The number of outbreaks of avian influenza in livestock and in wildlife is still increasing in mainland France and in Europe. Faced with an increased risk of contamination due to the drop in temperatures and the high migratory activity of wild birds, the level of risk has been raised from "moderate" to "high" throughout the metropolitan territory. As of November 11, the protection of poultry farms is reinforced and preventive measures are generalized.

                          Thus, all poultry must be sheltered throughout the territory and gatherings of poultry are prohibited.
