| Abstract | Social (minimal) Potential vector for avian influenza although unlikely to have an impact on the epidemiology of this disease. Large numbers of goose droppings could cause a human health hazard although this has not been reported to date as bird numbers are low. History in GB Known to have been present in GB since at least 1972 and were found breeding in the wild by 1989. In 1991 a total of 83 individuals were counted during a GB survey. Currently a small population is present, estimated at 22 birds in 2014/15, however this may be an underestimate. All birds in GB (and other European countries) are of captive origin. Most records occur in the south and east of GB. Populations in GB are described as stable and not increasing. RAPID RISK ASSESSMENT SUMMARY SHEET |
