Thank you very much for the question.
The CFIA has been responding to cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in domestic poultry since late 2021. Right now, the transmission of high path AI to domestic poultry premises is often through wild bird or migratory bird introductions.
At this point in time, we know that high path AI is continuing to circulate in wild bird populations, and therefore that risk remains for our domestic poultry population.
