European Union: EFSA Report on Spring 2021 Avian Influenza Epidemic

With 3,555 recorded High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) infections in 27 European countries and involving 22.4 million poultry birds, the spring 2021 HPAI epidemic was one of the largest recorded in Europe. The epicenter of the epidemic was situated in Germany and Poland. A May 31, 2021 scientific report from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) documents this HPAI epidemic country by country, highlighting the need for farmers to maintain strict biosecurity measures to keep the disease away from farm flocks. HPAI-related import bans from affected European Union (EU) member states (MS) resulted in decreased EU poultry exports.
