🦆 High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza – WOAH Sit Rep 85 #IDSky #OneHealth 🧪 🗓️ Covers July 2026 📊 Outbreaks reported in Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe & Oceania: 16 in poultry; 72 in non-poultry birds & mammals. ▶️ Reported 1,528,120 poultry birds died or culled. 🔗: www.woah.org/app/uploads/...

During July 2026, 16 new outbreaks in poultry were notified by 5 countries and territories (Germany, Nepal, Peru, Togo, United States of America).

Number of new outbreaks, associated cases and losses by geographical region (losses include animals dead and killed and disposed of within outbreaks – they do not include culling around outbreaks). It should also be noted that some countries or territories are unable to provide a precise number of cases and leave this field blank in the report.

New outbreak statistics. Africa: 5. Americas: 3; Asia and the Pacific: 7; Europe 1.

Cases statistics. Africa: 15,041; Americas: 260; Asia and the Pacific: 2,980; Europe: 15.

Losses statistics. Africa: 15,040; Americas: 1,491,500; Asia and the Pacific: 21,580; Europe: 5.

During July 2026, 72 new outbreaks in non-poultry were notified by 14 countries and territories (Australia, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, Honduras, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States of America).

This list corresponds to countries and territories that have notified cases in wild birds, mammals or domestic birds other than poultry. This explains why their numbers are different from those presented in the ‘HPAI key figures for the current seasonal wave and the two previous waves’ table, which does not cover domestic birds other than poultry.

The number of HPAI new outbreaks in non-poultry animals reported through WAHIS by geographical region during July 2026:

Americas: 13 (5 in non-poultry birds; 8 in mammals).
Asia and the Pacific: 35 (all in non-poultry birds).
Europe: 24 (all in non-poultry birds).
