Influenza A(H5N1) and other strains of avian flu - Non EU/EEA countries, Opening date: 15 June 2005 Latest update: 7 October 2016
Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses A(H5) of Asian origin are highly infectious for several bird species, including poultry.
The human infections with influenza A(H5) viruses have been caused by influenza A(H5N1) virus in several non-EU/EEA countries and by influenza A(H5N6) virus in China. Other avian influenza subtypes, including H7N7 and H9N2, have infected people sporadically. Many of these infections have been mild or even subclinical in humans, but some have been severe and have resulted in deaths. ECDC is following the development of these viruses and is monitoring infections in humans.
􀃎Update of the week
Since the WHO report on 19 July 2016 there have been two additional cases and three deaths reported on the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean website.
According to WHO, in 2016, ten cases including four deaths due to A(H5N1) were reported in Egypt up to 30 September.
