Updated joint FAO/WHO/WOAH assessment of recent influenza A(H5N1) virus events in animals and people
submited by kickingbird at Aug, 15, 2024 10:18 AM from WHO
At the present time, based on available information, FAO-WHO-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. Transmission between animals continues to occur and, to date, a limited number of human infections have been reported. Although additional human infections associated with exposure to infected animals or contaminated environments are likely to continue to occur, the overall public health impact of such infections at a global level is minor.
