A study published in Emerging Infectious Diseases reports that H5N8 avian influenza caused mass die-offs of about 13,600 wild birds in the Netherlands during the 2016-2017 season, mostly tufted ducks and Eurasian wigeons. The authors warn that recurrence could alter wild bird population dynamics.
This is a wild bird epidemiology study about past losses with no direct effect on poultry supply, feed demand or prices.
