🦠 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI): More Than a Poultry Problem

HPAI is a fast-spreading viral disease with serious consequences for animal health, human health, and the environment.

Through a One Health approach, we recognize that preventing and controlling HPAI requires coordinated action across sectors to include veterinarians, farmers, public health officials, wildlife experts, and communities.

💡 Simple preventive actions can make a big difference:
Keep birds enclosed and away from wild bird droppings
Sanitize hands and equipment
Protect feed and water from contamination
Limit visitor contact with flocks
Know the signs and report early

📢 HPAI outbreaks don’t just impact farms, they threaten food security, livelihoods, and global health.

A 2019 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that veterinarians are as much as four times more likely to die by su***de than the general population. This is because a veterinarian needs to care not only for the pets, but for the owners and for themselves.
