Abstract
The avian influenza virus was first identified in China in 1996, but it was in 2021 when numerous outbreaks of avian influenza began in different regions of the world, including
Mexico. This virus has caused a significant impact on animal health and well-being, since it mainly affects wild birds, poultry and other animals, including humans, putting the food security and subsistence of those who depend on it at risk.
