Australia had three high pathogenicity avian influenza outbreaks in 2024 affecting 16 premises.
Here’s a summary article with information on timing, locations, transmission and bird-types affected. And on the rapid response leading to eradication.

Wonderful to attend ISVEE17 with the DAFF epidemiology team!
Lots of great presentations, discussions and collaborations. Was an honour to present on behalf of the OFFLU wildlife group on HPAI in South America and Antarctica. isvee17.com.au
