🐷 Since September 2025, the number of African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks has declined in domestic pigs. Outbreaks in wildlife increased between October 2025 and January 2026.

These are the highlights from March 2026:
🦠 In Europe, Ukraine reported new ASF events, while 14 countries in Europe updated their ongoing events.
🦠 No new events were reported elsewhere.
🦠 31 new outbreaks were reported in domestic pigs and 722 in wild boars, in the Asia-Pacific region, and in Europe.
🦠 A total of 11,734 domestic pigs were lost due to the disease.
🦠 About 16% of the outbreaks were reported in areas with a pig density of more than 10 pigs per square kilometre.

Animals and humans have always shared a deep and profound connection. How does this interdependence shape global health?

The impact of animals and their ecosystems on communities worldwide is vast, reaching across food supplies and medicine. At the same time, the challenges tied to this connection are also changing, influenced by climate change and expanding human populations.

In a new series, Animals & Us, created in partnership with BBC StoryWorks, we explore what this connection between humans and animals means. Now streaming: https://www.woah.org/en/animals-and-us/

The latest avian influenza update from March 2026:

- 95 outbreaks in poultry and 336 outbreaks in non-poultry, including in wild birds and in mammals, were reported in Africa, Asia, Oceania, Americas and Europe.

- About 5,611 ,000 poultry birds died or were culled during the month, mostly in the Americas and Europe .

- The current epidemic wave reached the highest peak of poultry outbreaks in November 2025. Since then, the number of poultry outbreaks has shown a decreasing trend in the Northern hemisphere, which is consistent with the known seasonality of the disease in poultry.

We express deep concern following the emergence of the 17th Ebola Virus Disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and its potential spread to neighbouring countries.

Ebola virus disease is a zoonotic disease, transmitted from animals to humans and then between humans. Its repeated emergence is a reminder that human health and animal health are strongly interlinked.

While the specific animal reservoir associated with this current outbreak has not yet been identified, scientific evidence from previous outbreaks points to wildlife species, particularly fruit bats and potentially other wild animals as a likely source of transmission. The origin of infection in the current outbreak remains under investigation.

Given this context, WOAH emphasises the importance of stronger surveillance at the animal-human-environmental interface and call for a stronger rollout of the One Health approach at country, cross-border and regional level.

Even after the shots are fired, lead ammunition could be taking the lives of wild animals.

Spent lead ammunition is poisonous to birds that may mistake it for food, while being a source of secondary poisoning for predatory and scavenging animals. Scavengers, such as eagles and vultures can consume lead fragments from the carcasses of hunted animals.

Apart from being toxic to just animals, spent lead ammunition is shown to be a major health hazard for humans.

History is proof of the damage Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) can inflict on vulture populations. It was not too long back when the widespread use of diclofenac in livestock caused millions of vulture deaths in India, also impacting the ecosystems they were part of. Such cases have reappeared since.

In 2020, the first death of a wild vulture outside Asia due to diclofenac poisoning was confirmed in Spain. Toxicity from diclofenac has also been observed in other scavenging raptors, with a case in eagles in India.

These events highlight the ongoing, transboundary threat of these drugs to vultures and potentially other scavenging raptors across their range, and the need for regulation and responsible use of NSAIDs to mitigate risks.

We just revised WOAH’s standard on trade and created a whole new chapter on biosecurity to improve the health and welfare of birds in live markets for better avian influenza control.

These changes are poised to have a positive impact on animal health and welfare worldwide.

In some countries, live bird markets are the backbone of cities that rely on food-focused trade and tourism, they provide access to fresh produce and also embodying a vital source of income for vendors. But infectious animal diseases, like avian influenza, have strained these settings, as they offer a breeding ground for harmful pathogens.

These diseases may also spread across borders, which is where good import and export controls come in.

In Episode 1, Fry the pig suddenly falls sick, and farmer Roy fears the worst: could the illness spread to the rest of the farm?

The answer lies in something most people rarely think about: animal health standards. This may not sound exciting, but they help detect diseases early, contain outbreaks before they spread, and protect both animals and people.

And to keep them up to date, we invented the Observatory. Read how standards are implemented in their latest report.

35 resolutions adopted
51 international standards adopted and revised
1,300 participants from 130 countries

may be over but its outcomes will have long-lasting impact on animal health and welfare.
