FAO/WHO/WOAH public health assessment of recent influenza A(H5) virus events in animals and people

  • WHO
  • décembre 22, 2024

An updated joint FAO/WHO/WOAH public health assessment of recent influenza A(H5) virus events in animals and people was published on the 20 December 2024. The assessment is based on the data as of 18 November 2024.

At the present time, based on available information, FAO, WHO and WOAH assess the global public health risk of influenza A(H5N1) viruses to be low, while the risk of infection for occupationally exposed persons is low to moderate depending on the risk mitigation measures in place and the local avian influenza epidemiological situation.

Transmission between animals continues to occur and, to date, a growing yet still limited number of human infections are being reported. Although additional human infections associated with exposure to infected animals or contaminated environments are expected to occur, the overall public health impact of such infections at a global level, at the present time, is minor.
