Sub-Antarctic and Antarctic Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 Monitoring Project

The Antarctic Wildlife Health Network (AWHN) has established a HPAI database to monitor and record information submitted to the AWHN on the spread of HPAI outbreaks in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica throughout the 2023/24 Austral Summer. This database will form a central reporting database to collate detailed scientific information on all suspected and confirmed outbreaks throughout the sub-Antarctic and Antarctica. The AWHN will also provide regular updates on current cases and recommendations, a visual display of all cases via MAPPPD (http://www.penguinmap.com/mapppd/) and regular bulletins.
