La grippe aviaire en France
agriculture.gouv.fr
Since August 2021, numerous outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) have been detected in wildlife or on farms in Europe. The health authorities of many Member States (Netherlands, Germany, Italy...) have notified outbreaks in poultry farms (turkeys and broilers, laying hens). Thirty-six countries are now affected by the epizootic throughout the European continent.

France has not been spared. A first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza was detected on November 26 in a commercial layer farm in the Nord department.
On December 16, an outbreak of H5N1 was confirmed in a duck farm in the Gers department, the first outbreak in the southwest since the beginning of this new episode. Several departments in the South-West were then affected, with numerous cases in the Landes and the Atlantic Pyrenees, in particular.
While the situation was beginning to stabilize in the South-West, HPAI outbreaks have strongly increased in the Pays de la Loire region since the end of February.
Two departments (Vendée and Loire-Atlantique) have experienced a rapid spread of the HPAI virus and the Pays de la Loire region has recorded a number of outbreaks equivalent to more than double that of the southwest. The progression continues in the West of France but seems to slow down.
A new area of infection has developed since the end of March in the Lot, Dordogne and Corrèze regions, which has recorded more than 100 outbreaks to date.
South-West
In the absence of new outbreaks in the region, restocking under strict conditions has been possible since March 29 in the regulated area of the South-West. A sanitation period of 3 weeks has been imposed before the animals are put back in place under surveillance. A clinical visit must be carried out 21 days after the introduction of the animals by the health veterinarian of the farm.
Pays de la Loire
Very strict measures have been taken to protect hatcheries and breeding farms, which are numerous in this region, with the establishment of a restricted zone of 20 km around the outbreaks. A "firebreak" zone was also set up to limit the spread of the virus to Brittany by reducing the density of duck farms in a 10 km strip.
Number of outbreaks and confirmed cases in France
As of April 29, 2022, France has 1,364 outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in farms, 46 cases in wildlife and 30 cases in backyard flocks.
