Impact on animal health, including wild birds 

With severe mortality rates, avian influenza can heavily impact the health of both poultry and wild birds. Often considered mainly as vectors of the disease, wild birds, including endangered species, are also victims. The consequences of avian influenza on wildlife could potentially lead to a devastating effect on the biodiversity of our ecosystems. 

In addition, avian influenza can also cross the species barrier and infect mammals, such as rats, mice, weasels, ferrets, pigs, cats, tigers, dogs and horses.
