Abstract
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) clade 2.3.4.4 spread in France during 2016-2017. We assessed the biosecurity and avian influenza virus infection status of 70 backyard flocks near H5N8-infected commercial farms. One flock was seropositive for clade 2.3.4.4. Backyard flocks linked to commercial farms had elevated risk for H5 infection.
KEYWORDS:
France; H5N8; HPAI; backyard flocks; biosecurity; clade 2.3.4.4; highly pathogenic avian influenza; influenza; poultry; risk factors; viruses; zoonoses
