At the time of writing, there have been two human cases of avian influenza in the USA, connected to dairy farming, and the Dutch daily newspaper De Volkskrant is asking if we are ready for a major outbreak of avian influenza in humans (in Dutch, and subscription needed).
There are other posts on this blog about avian influenza, but from some time ago, so this is a more up to date list of suggested links.
The UK government's page on the latest situation in England, last updated on 26th April 2024, is a comprehensive page including links to information on how to spot avian influenza in birds, and a link to a page to get information on cases in animals in England (that page enables you as well to find details of any case of any notifiable disease in animals), and separate links to case information in the other home nations.
Direct links to government information in the other home nations are:
- Scotland
- Wales - English, Cymraeg (ffliw adar)
Information from our geographical neighbours from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
Information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States.
Information from the NHS (last updated in January 2022).
Click this link for PubMed results, sorted by date with most recent first. The search is filtered to humans, which may lose the most recent references, so to remove the human filter, untick the human filter in the options on the left of the results. You will then find reports of research in birds or animals as well. If there are articles at the top of the list under a "Found by citation matching" heading, note they may not be very recent.
