# Avian Influenza: An Update for Veterinarians – American Association of Swine Veterinarians

> The AASV's update for veterinarians says the HPAI outbreak that began in 2022 continues to affect many US areas. Migratory waterfowl are the main introduction route, and backyard flocks are highly vulnerable. The CDC says the current strain poses no immediate public health concern.

## Why it matters

Ongoing US poultry losses reduce chicken supply and can lift prices for meat and feed demand. The update restates the existing outbreak rather than adding a new shock.
