France has announced the eradication of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), having gone over a month without new outbreaks. The country has ceased surveillance and has submitted a notification to the World Organization for Animal Health. The success of France's duck vaccination program, introduced a year ago, is credited for the achievement. However, the Ministry of Agriculture has cautioned farmers and veterinarians to remain vigilant due to the challenging epizootic situation in neighboring European countries, and the risk of dairy cattle infection, as seen in the United States.
