flag HPAI devastates U.S. and European poultry in 2025, causing mass bird deaths, egg and turkey shortages, and rare human cases.

flag Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) remains a significant threat across the U.S. and Europe in 2025, driven by migratory bird patterns and increasing detections in wild and domestic birds, including turkeys, chickens, and mammals. flag In Kansas, backyard and commercial flocks face ongoing risks, with symptoms like respiratory distress and sudden death prompting urgent biosecurity measures. flag Egg production dropped sharply due to the loss of 50.7 million laying hens, spiking prices early in the year before easing. flag Turkey output fell to its lowest since 1991 amid HPAI and avian metapneumovirus outbreaks. flag In Europe, cases surged sixfold, with over 11 million poultry deaths, and rare human cases, including a fatality, were reported. flag Wild bird deaths are nearing 2022 outbreak levels, and spillover to mammals like foxes and cats has increased. flag Authorities emphasize strict biosecurity, surveillance, and public precautions to limit spread, noting low human health risks but urging caution around sick or dead wildlife.
