  • H5N1 Avian Flu Surges Globally: Unprecedented Outbreaks Across Continents Spark International Health Concerns in 2025
    2025/07/26
    This is H5N1 Global Scan: Avian Flu Worldwide. I’m your host. Over the past five years, the globe has grappled with H5N1 like never before. Once largely an agricultural concern, H5N1 has now impacted every inhabited continent except Australia, triggering unprecedented responses from health authorities, industry, and researchers alike.

    Let’s break it down continent by continent. In North America, the United States has seen repeated outbreaks in poultry and, more recently, cases among dairy cows. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, as of late July 2025, over 70 human infections have been detected across the US since the 2024 uptick, all linked to direct animal exposure. The CDC reports nearly 97 million birds culled to contain the virus since 2022, leading to egg shortages and economic shocks. Canada and Mexico have also reported poultry and sporadic human infections.

    In South America, the Pan American Health Organization notes the first human case in Mexico this year, alongside continued outbreaks in Peru’s backyard flocks and wild birds from Argentina to Colombia.

    Moving to Europe, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control tallied over 350 outbreaks in birds between March and June 2025, with human cases reported in the UK and beyond. Outbreaks have impacted both wild bird populations and commercial farming, putting pressure on food trade and supply chains.

    Asia remains a focal point for H5N1 activity. Cambodia recently experienced an unusual surge, with the World Health Organization confirming eleven human cases, mostly in children, in just the first half of 2025. India too marked a fatal human case this April. Southeast Asia’s constant bird-to-human transmission risk, often linked to backyard and live poultry markets, presents ongoing containment challenges.

    Africa, while less frequently in global headlines, is no exception. Multiple outbreaks in wild birds and poultry have led to coordinated surveillance and culling programs.

    Globally, the World Organization for Animal Health, WHO, and FAO continue to advise rigorous surveillance, prompt reporting, and biosecurity. The WHO maintains that the risk to the wider public remains low, but emphasizes significant risks to those working closely with poultry and livestock.

    Cross-border and trade impacts are real. In late 2024, the United States and Europe saw poultry export bans and import restrictions ripple across markets. Many nations are now requiring certifications of H5N1-free status, leading to friction in international trade.

    Research collaborations are accelerating. International initiatives, including genome tracking projects and farm-to-lab transmission studies, are underway. Findings reveal that the dominant H5N1 strain, clade 2.3.4.4b, has adapted to infect a broader range of species, even being found in glandular tissue and milk of farm animals. Virologists are collaborating globally to monitor mutations that could increase human transmissibility.

    Meanwhile, vaccine development continues, but as of July 2025, no country has rolled out a commercially available human H5N1 vaccine. Several candidates are advancing in trials, focusing on poultry workers and high-risk populations.

    Different nations have taken contrasting approaches. The US and UK have focused on mass culling and strict farm quarantines. Cambodia and parts of Latin America emphasize rapid surveillance and traditional public health messaging. The European Union has increased both compensation for affected farmers and public transparency to support early reporting.

    That’s our scan of the global H5N1 landscape—ever-evolving, deeply interconnected, and a critical test of international health systems.

  • H5N1 Avian Flu Spreads Globally in 2025: Poultry Outbreaks, Human Cases, and Worldwide Health Response Detailed
    2025/07/25
    This is H5N1 Global Scan: Avian Flu Worldwide.

    The H5N1 avian influenza virus continues its global sweep in 2025, shaping poultry production, international health responses, and trade. Let's break down its impact by continent.

    In the Americas, the United States has faced over 100 outbreaks in poultry and wild birds in 32 states this year, and 70 human cases since 2024 according to the CDC and AAO. Mexico saw its first human fatality this spring. In South America, Peru reported new outbreaks in backyard poultry. The Pan American Health Organization highlights continued mass poultry culling and significant economic strain across North, Central, and South America.

    Europe reports active cases in 24 countries this spring, with 20 human infections and four deaths between March and June. Most outbreaks are concentrated in western and central Europe, says the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. The UK documented rare mammalian spillover to sheep, raising new concerns for surveillance.

    In Asia, Cambodia faces an unusual rise in human infections, with WHO noting 11 lab-confirmed cases and several deaths this year. India reported a fatal human case in April. These cases, often linked to backyard poultry, underscore persistent rural risks.

    Africa continues to battle periodic poultry outbreaks, although fewer human cases have been reported recently. Meanwhile, Australia remains so far untouched by the 2020-2025 wave, according to Wikipedia's outbreak chronology.

    International research efforts surged, with the WHO and the Food and Agriculture Organization issuing joint risk assessments and urging deeper surveillance in both wild and domestic animals. Researchers in North America, Europe, and East Asia are sequencing viral genomes in real time, mapping new clades and transmission patterns, as detailed by the CDC and ECDC. The recent detection of H5N1 in cows and sheep in the US and UK triggered new studies on mammal-to-mammal transmission potential, a key global concern.

    WHO and FAO statements emphasize continued low risk to the general public but warn of higher risk for poultry workers and the importance of occupational protections. Both agencies call for improved real-time data sharing, rapid outbreak notification, and updated pandemic preparedness plans.

    Cross-border issues complicate control, as the virus travels along migratory bird routes and through legal and illicit poultry trade. Trade restrictions, particularly on eggs and poultry meat, have disrupted markets and caused price spikes, as seen in the US late last year when 20 million chickens were culled due to outbreak control.

    Vaccine development is advancing, with multinational collaborations testing targeted animal vaccines and updating candidate human vaccines. However, as of July 2025, no licensed human vaccine for highly pathogenic H5N1 is available, according to the AAO and CDC.

    National strategies vary: the US, EU, and Japan prioritize large-scale culling and tight farm biosecurity, while Cambodia and parts of Africa focus on community education and swift outbreak reporting. Such differences reflect diverse infrastructure and resources.

    That’s today’s global scan. The H5N1 situation evolves daily, with research, surveillance, and international coordination at the forefront. Thank you for tuning in. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more from me, check out Quiet Please dot A I.

  • H5N1 Avian Flu Spreads Globally: 986 Human Cases Reported Worldwide with Rising Concerns for Public Health
    2025/07/23
    This is H5N1 Global Scan: Avian Flu Worldwide.

    Today, we’re bringing you a critical look at the worldwide impact of H5N1 avian influenza. By mid-2025, highly pathogenic avian influenza has swept across almost every continent except Australia, causing significant outbreaks in wild birds, domestic poultry, and increasingly, mammals and humans. The World Health Organization reports 986 confirmed human H5N1 cases in 25 countries since 2003, with over 450 fatalities. Although overall risk to the public remains low, this year has seen spikes in Southeast Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe.

    Let’s break down the global scene. In Asia, countries like Cambodia have reported a resurgence of human cases, with 11 laboratory-confirmed infections and several deaths in 2025 alone. Most incidents are linked to direct contact with sick backyard poultry. China and India have also reported sporadic cases, underscoring ongoing risks in rural communities. In Africa, new outbreaks in poultry flocks, especially in West Africa, are prompting regional coordination, but challenges around surveillance and veterinary response persist.

    Across Europe, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control reports 20 human H5N1 cases and four deaths in just three months, in addition to 365 outbreaks in birds across 24 countries, mostly in western and central regions. Heightened surveillance and culling measures remain standard, but the virus’s adaptation to mammals remains a concern.

    Turning to the Americas, both the United States and South America are coping with repeated poultry outbreaks. The US has seen 70 human infections since 2024, primarily among farm workers exposed to infected animals, as well as novel transmission to cows and other mammals. Peru, Mexico, and Brazil are managing waves of outbreaks, leading to vast poultry culls and disruptions in poultry and egg supply, with Mexico recently reporting its first human fatality.

    Globally, H5N1 disrupts not just health, but also trade. The Food and Agriculture Organization highlights major economic losses: cross-border restrictions, export bans, and shortages of poultry products. International markets for eggs and poultry have tightened, triggering price hikes in multiple regions, particularly after large culls in the US and Europe.

    On the research front, global cooperation is ramping up. The WHO, FAO, and the World Organisation for Animal Health are coordinating real-time surveillance, genetic sequencing, and rapid response teams. Several international initiatives are tracking viral evolution and supporting vaccine R&D. Currently, vaccine development is ongoing with trials in Asia, the US, and Europe, focusing on newer, more flexible platforms geared to adapt to viral shifts. Yet, no universal H5N1 vaccine is deployed at scale.

    Comparing national containment, approaches vary. The US and European countries focus on aggressive culling and biosecurity in commercial farms. Asian countries, like Cambodia, take a backyard surveillance strategy, while South American nations emphasize regional information sharing and vaccination in poultry. Researchers stress the need for harmonized policy—mismatched responses can allow the virus to jump borders and species.

    International agencies urge ongoing global vigilance, rapid data exchange, and better support for countries with limited resources.
