Newcastle disease virus subgenotype VII.1.1 caused Germany’s first major poultry outbreaks in decades during February–May 2026, despite mandatory vaccination, with clinical signs ranging from inapparent to severe.
- Why it matters: Mandatory vaccination did not prevent major outbreaks, and low recorded mortality means relying on clinical disease alone can miss ongoing transmission.
- What they did: The study described Germany’s February–May 2026 outbreaks of Newcastle disease virus subgenotype VII.1.1 in vaccinated commercial poultry, noting the clinical spectrum and mortality patterns.
- The result: The outbreaks indicate enhanced surveillance is needed beyond clinical detection to identify virus circulation that may not produce obvious disease.
