Hungary: Avian Influenza Returns to Hungary
Although Hungary regained its avian influenza-free status on July 3, 2024, the disease has returned. In October 2024, animal health authorities confirmed primary outbreaks of the H5N1 strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in five counties. The epidemic is sweeping across Eastern Hungary and it also appeared in the Transdanubian region. Control and quarantine measures are in place, but further cases are expected around the affected localities and in the neighboring counties as they are along stopover spots of migratory birds.
