Episode 58 - Alessandro Broglia and Katriina Willgert - Avian Flu – The Next Pandemic Threat?

This episode explores the growing threat of avian influenza, which has led to massive outbreaks in bird populations and an increasing number of cases in mammals.

With nearly 70 human cases and one death confirmed in the US recently linked to the H5N1 subtype, concerns are rising about its potential to spread among humans in Europe and cause a pandemic.

Experts from European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) discuss the risks to humans, the impact on animals, and the preventive measures that EU Member States can take.

Listen in to Alessandro Broglia (EFSA) and Katriina Willgert (ECDC) and learn more.
