Background
The global significance of infected birds emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as outbreaks of avian diseases such as avian influenza and Newcastle disease devastated poultry industries and wild bird populations. International concern intensified with the recognition of migratory birds as vectors for transboundary disease spread, prompting coordinated surveillance and research. The problem’s complexity deepened with the discovery of zoonotic transmission risks, underscoring its persistent threat to animal and human health worldwide.
