    Global Avian Influenza Viruses with Zoonotic Potential situation update

    28 December 2023, 08:30 hours; Rome

    Overview


    This update covers avian influenza viruses (AIV) with zoonotic potential occurring worldwide, i.e. H5Nx, H7Nx high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) viruses and H3N8, H5Nx, H6N1, H7Nx, H9N2, H10N3, H10N7, H10N8 and H11 low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI).

    Specific information is available for Avian Influenza A(H7N9) virus viruses and Sub-Saharan Africa HPAI in related FAO Avian Influenza situation updates.

    HPAI outbreaks in animals officially reported since last update (28 September 2023): in total, 715 outbreaks/events have been reported in four geographic regions caused by H5Nx (101), H5N1 (580), H5N5 (2), H5N6 (28), H7N6 (2) and HxNx (2). (see Table 1 for details)

    LPAI events in animals officially reported since the last update (30 November 2023): 15 new events were reported.
