Six ESWI Board Members, led by Prof. Florian Krammer, together with a long list of prominent European scientists specialised in virology, immunology and epidemiology, have recently published a commentary in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.

Participants will have the opportunity to attend lectures given by world renowned scientists in the field of pediatric infectious disease as well as genomics, pharmacology, immunology, gastrointestinal diseases, allergology and public health.

In 2023, Finland faced an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by clade 2.3.4.4b A(H5N1) viruses, which spread from wild birds to fur farms.

The highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus clade 2.3.4.4b has been spreading globally since 2022, causing mortality and morbidity in domestic and wild birds and mammals, including infection in humans, raising concerns about its pandemic potential.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and its partners are focused on keeping people and animals in Canada safe and ensuring Canada is ready for any potential health threats.

The ongoing circulation of influenza A H5N1 in the United States has raised concerns of a pandemic caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Since early 2022 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus infections have been reported in wild aquatic birds and poultry throughout the United States (US) with spillover into several mammalian species.

From 13 December 2024 to 20 January 2025, the detection of influenza A(H5) virus in five humans, influenza A(H9N2) virus in two humans, and influenza A(H10N3) virus in one human were reported officially.

H5Nx viruses remain a threat to human health. Over the past few years, the H5Nx clade 2.3.4.4b has rapidly spread to 6 continents, leading to massive avian and mammalian host deaths.

Avian influenza or “bird flu” circulates in wild avian populations, and highly pathogenic strains such as H5Nx pose pandemic risk.

UKHSA confirms rare case of bird flu A(H5N1) in the West Midlands region.

Transmission is enabled through the movement of cattle between herds, as indicated from Interstate Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (ICVI) data.
