Update on the origin, changing path and response to the 2022-2024 HPAI outbreak in the USA

FAO is conducting a series of knowledge-rich webinars on a monthly basis as part of the Progressive Management Pathway for Terrestrial Animal Biosecurity Community of Practice. These webinars cover a host of topics related to the progressive improvement of terrestrial animal biosecurity, involving speakers and participants from multiple disciplines and backgrounds.

This webinar will focus on the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak of 2022-2024 in the United States of America and provide global context to the disease in wildlife and wild bird populations. It will explore the known contributions of wildlife and birds to the ongoing outbreak, coordination of mortality investigations and response in wildlife populations, and the impacts of spillover and spillback from livestock and poultry.
