Summary
Since the expansion of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses into commercial poultry occurred in January 2015, APHIS Veterinary Services (VS) has initiated a number of epidemiologic and laboratory based investigations to better understand the factors associated with HPAI virus transmission. These investigations include: field-based observational studies with data collected through surveys and site visits; geospatial analyses; on-farm sampling efforts; and phylogenetic investigations. As investigation and analysis efforts continue, this report will be updated with recent results in an effort to provide producers, industry, and other stakeholders tangible and effective ways to mitigate initial introduction of HPAI viruses into commercial poultry operations and transmission of virus between operations
