Monthly Spotlight - Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza
Since January 2022, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) has been detected in the U.S. in wild
aquatic birds, commercial and backyard poultry. The HPAI A(H5N1) strain implicated in the outbreaks is the
Eurasian strain, which has triggered poultry outbreaks and wild bird detections in multiple parts of the world.
Wild birds can be infected with HPAI A(H5N1) without showing clinical signs but can cause illness and death in
domestic poultry. Although the risk to the most people from HPAI A(H5N1) virus is low, some people, primarily
poultry workers, may be at a higher risk of infection based on exposure to infected birds.
The outbreak has been spreading across the U.S westward, and so far has been reported in three (Atlantic,
Mississippi and Central) of the four migratory bird flyways, but has not yet reached our area (Pacific flyway).
Highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks have hit poultry in 12 states. The USDA has detected the virus in
waterfowl in 20 states through their wild bird surveillance. As this outbreak continues to spread, the USDA has
expanded surveillance of the virus to all four of the migratory bird flyways that span the US mainland. Veterinary
Public Health will continue to monitor this outbreak.
For the latest case reports on avian influenza outbreaks in wild birds, commercial poultry, and backyard
birds, please visit the USDA website at: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/
