Avian influenza on the move: How migratory birds, climate, and surveillance gaps are shaping a global threat

Bird flu is escalating, with Europe reporting a six-fold surge in cases among wild birds in 2025. Migratory patterns are facilitating the virus's spread across continents, impacting poultry farms and raising concerns about potential human and mammalian infections. Coordinated surveillance and biosecurity measures are crucial to mitigate this growing threat.
