The new HPAI season which started in October 2024 continued in January 2025 with 144
\noutbreaks being reported in poultry for the month and 160 in non-poultry birds and mammals in
\nAfrica, the Americas, Asia and Europe. About 14.9 million poultry birds died or were culled during
\nthe month, mostly in the Americas. It is interesting to note that the total number of outbreaks in
\npoultry notified for the 4 months since the start of the current seasonal wave (October 2024-
\nJanuary 2025) is already comparable to the number of outbreaks notified for the whole year of the
\nprevious wave (October 2023-September 2024).
\nIn January 2025, the number of outbreaks in both poultry and non-poultry notified to WOAH
\noverall slightly decreased compared to December 2024, based on the currently available data,
\nwhich leads us to believe that the seasonal peak has passed for poultry and that we are in the
\ndownward phase (to be confirmed over the coming months). However, there was a rise in
\noutbreaks among wild birds in Europe. While cases in mammals continued to be reported in the
\nAmericas and Europe, the overall number of outbreaks has declined compared to December
\n2024. During this period, Iceland newly reported cases in mammals.Research community present
\non site continue to report several suspected cases of HPAI in the sub-Antarctic islands and
\nAntarctica proper (https:\/\/scar.org\/library-data\/avian-flu). The situation in Antarctica is of
\nparticular concern, as experts fear the negative impact of HPAI on Antarctic wildlife and
\nbiodiversity.<\/p>\n
