This webinar discusses the emergence of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) clade in 2020, resulting in significant fatalities among wild birds and domestic poultry. This virus strain spread worldwide, affecting non-avian species like dairy cattle, raising alarm globally. A joint risk assessment by WHO, FAO, and OIE on 24th April 2024 highlighted these concerns.
