  1. Update on avian influenzaCivil Dialogue GroupBrussels, 18 May 2018 DG SANTE, Unit G3 Official controls and eradication of diseases in animals

  2. HPAI in poultry, captive birds & wild birds 1/10/2016 - 14/05/2018

  3. Weekly epidemic curve for HPAI H5 outbreaks in poultry reported via ADNS (01/10/2016 - 14/05/2018)

  4. Weekly epidemic curve for HPAI H5 findings in wild birds reported via ADNS (01/10/2016-14/05/2018)

  5. Wild bird cases 2016-17: >> tuftedducks and otherwildducks • gulls • swans • geese • herons • grebes 2018: • >> birds of prey, white tailedeagles, buzzards(FI,SE,DK) • swans

  6. EU: H5N6 HPAI virus characteristics Genetic analysis by the EU Reference Laboratory for avian influenza have shown that: • European strains can be differentiated from HPAI H5N6 strains associated with zoonotic infection in Asia • They do not carry any virulence markers strongly associated with human infection risk • To date, there are no reported human infections with this particular genetic sub-lineage of H5N6 HPAI

  7. HPAI outbreaks worldwide 01-15/05/2018 Afghanistan (H5), Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia (H5N8), Iran (previously H5N1, now H5N8) and West Africa, India (H5N1+H5N8), HK, Taiwan and China (H5N6, H5N2). Korea, Japan (H5N6). In the whole of China a vaccination programme in poultry against H7N9 (zoonotic strain) is implemented since 09/2017. Cases in poultry and humans have dropped, but too early to assess effectiveness.

  8. Commission's actions • Update of protection measures: CID(EU) 2017/247 • 8 decisions for NL, DE, IT and BG adopted in 2018 • Designation of a new EU reference laboratory • for avian influenza & Newcastle disease – IZSVe –Padova (IT) • EU comments to first suggestions of the OIE WG on AI (definitions for AI and poultry) • AI WG withcontinued discussion of captive birddefinition and surveillance EFSA's actions Publication of scientific opinion on AI (10/2017) Quarterly reports on disease situation starting from 10/2016-02/2018

  9. Commission's ongoing or planned actions • Review of biosecurity and early detection systems in the light of EFSA's opinion • Directorate's fact-finding missions on AI surveillance overview report of to be published soon • Movie on biosecurity: TOR drafted • Next: Update of AI surveillance guidelines based on EFSA's recommendations + Directorate F's fact finding missions EFSA'songoing or planned actions • 4th quarterly report will be issuedby 30/06 • AI surveillance results: EFSA takes over from the EURL the collection, evaluation and reporting
