The risk of bird flu is high in Germany, according to the Friedrich Loeffler Institute (FLI).
Avian flu incidence has reached its second high in February, officials note that epilepsy in Germany has currently surpassed 2016/2017.
In Germany, about 1,000 HPAIV There have been H5 cases lorg in wild birds and 133 outbreaks in chickens, six in birds kept in a zoo or similar facility, from 30 October, 2020.
In addition, a large number of European countries still report wild birds issues or an outbreak of HPAIV subtype H5 in birds kept daily.
Current migration of Scandinavian waterfowl can contribute to the supraregional spread. Therefore, the risk of dispersal in waterfowl numbers and entry into poultry holdings and bird populations (eg zoological resources) is still considered high. At the moment, there is a high risk of it getting in through the spread of the virus between chickenpox (secondary uprising). High poultry densities and live (outside) poultry trade are major risks. Biosecurity in poultry keeping should be investigated.
