Poultry producers are being urged to review biosecurity on their farms after the latest outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza on a commercial Russian farm. Authorities confirmed a site housing almost 500,000 birds in the Kostromskaya region in north western Russia was infected with H5N2 highly pathogenic avian influenza. The virus belongs to the Asia lineage of H5 high path strain that has been in outbreaks across Asia, Africa and Europe since 2014. An assessment by the UK government said that if the source was wild birds then their migratory paths could see farms across northern Europe at risk. The site of this latest outbreak is overlapped by three. Read more...
With the knowledge that it is always flu season somewhere, the large poultry production regions in the western hemisphere are preparing for the next flu season. Or at least should be. Migration season well underway As there are more and more warning signs. European poultry farmers will have to be on their guard against a range of different strains of bird flu over the next few months as the autumn migratory season is well underway. They will have to watch out for H5N8 High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), which has continued to persist in the environment, most notably in poultry in northern Italy and in wild birds in Italy, Switzerland, Britain.

Avian Influenza virus has a worldwide distribution and causes disease presented as different forms, ranging from highly pathogenic AI (HPAI) infections caused by H5 & H7 strains and low pathogenic AI (LPAI) infections caused by H9N2 strains. The disease has a massive impact on poultry production. HPAI types lead to trade restrictions, food shortages and industry job losses. LPAI causes severe performance losses in growing flocks leading to reduced productivity and profitability. Vaccination has become increasingly important in avian influenza control as a part of a multi-pronged approach, complementing the massive efforts expended in controlling the disease. Read more...
Since 1959, 42 epizootics of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) have occurred (Figure 1). Thirty-five of these epizootic HPAI viruses were geographically-limited (mostly to single countries), involved farm-to-farm spread and were eradicated from poultry by stamping-out programs; i.e. the HPAI viruses did not circulate in wild migratory birds. However, five outbreaks having also used vaccination as a management tool in addition to stamping-out strategies. An H5N1 HPAI virus emerged in 1996 in a goose in Guangdong China (Gs/GD lineage), and unlike the viruses in the other 39 HPAI outbreaks, has caused deaths in wild birds, poultry and humans, and spread to over 70.
