Official disease status · 2026-03-27

Newcastle disease

After 30 years without outbreaks, multiple Newcastle disease events were detected in commercial poultry in Brandenburg and Bavaria in February 2026; compulsory vaccination remains central.

Exposure is livestock inventory—not inferred prevalence. Regional selection updates supported evidence; the CBA remains explicitly national because regional cost evidence is unavailable.

No compatible current Germany-specific direct-loss estimate is registered; no value is inferred.

Relevant wildlife & interface

Wildlife evidence

No compatible current national wildlife-population layer is registered.

Population denominators remain unavailable unless explicitly registered; qualitative host evidence is not converted into a count.
ILLUSTRATIVE

Illustrative scenario—country-specific intervention evidence unavailable.

The planning parameters are retained, but the BCR is not estimated in this public profile.

Trade & movement

Documented consequence

All chicken and turkey keepers, including small holdings, must maintain vaccination; suspected outbreaks require laboratory confirmation and official control.

Registered sources document controls but not a compatible Germany-wide monetised trade consequence.
Release principle: every Germany disease has a complete decision workspace. Missing observed economics stay visible as N/A; modelled planning values are separately labelled, editable and never presented as evidence.
Sustainability & One HealthCountry-specific GHG, AMU/AMR and biodiversity results remain withheld until compatible evidence is registered; none is inferred from the disease profile.
