Are influenzas in animals OIE listed diseases?
All highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses are OIE listed diseases and thus notifiable to the OIE because they have the potential for rapid international spread and have a severe impact on animal health, and in the case of H5N1 HPAI have severe consequences for infected humans. Low pathogenic avian influenza viruses of subtypes H5 and H7 in domestic poultry are also notifiable to the OIE because they have the potential to mutate readily into HPAI viruses.
