Abstract: New Zealand’s avian influenza surveillance programme is multi-faceted, incorporating active surveillance of resident wild birds, and enhanced passive surveillance. NZ has never had a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza in wild birds or poultry, or a case of lowpathogenic avian influenza in poultry (World Organisation for Animal Health, 2014).
