HomeEnhanced surveillance of severe avian influenza virus infections in hospital settings in the EU/EEA
Nieuwste uitgave
Metagegevens publicatie
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses continue to be widespread in wild bird populations across the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA). Viruses circulating in wild birds have spilled over to both wild and domestic/farmed animals, leading to outbreaks in poultry and other animal farms. Transmission to humans can occur when avian influenza is circulating in animals, especially when people are directly exposed without wearing appropriate levels of protective equipment, with an estimated low-to moderate risks for individuals exposed. During the summer months, seasonal influenza virus activity tends to be very limited, resulting in few cases of seasonal influenza infection and even fewer cases of hospitalisation and severe disease. Ideally, all influenza positive specimens from sentinel sources should be typed and subtyped, augmented by year-round surveillance of influenza and other respiratory viruses. Sentinel surveillance systems are important for the monitoring of respiratory viruses in the EU/EEA, but these systems are not designed and are not sufficiently sensitive to identify a newly emerging virus such as avian influenza in the general population early enough for the purpose of implementing control measures in a timely way.
