Update on avian influenza

The latest from the #AvianInfluenza situation report for 13/07 - 23/08:

- 13 outbreaks in poultry and 52 in non-poultry birds and mammals, in 12 countries in the the Americas, Asia and Europe.


- More than 1.6 million poultry birds died or were culled, mostly in the Americas.
- The # of new outbreaks notified in birds is currently relatively low, which is consistent with the known seasonality of HPAI in poultry
- The public health risk of influenza A(H5N1) viruses has been assessed to be low.
