According to the cumulative table published by the WHO Global Influenza Programme on 31 March 2026, a total of 997 laboratory-confirmed human cases of Avian Influenza A(H5N1), including 478 deaths, were reported globally between 2003 and 2026. The data include cases reported to WHO as of 31 March 2026. WHO reports only laboratory-confirmed human cases, and the total case count includes deaths. H5N1 continues to circulate widely among wild birds and poultry worldwide, with sporadic infections reported in mammals and humans in some countries. The disease remains an active global public health and animal health concern due to its high case fatality rate in humans and ongoing outbreaks in birds.
