Epidemiological comments |
Suspicion on the disease for two neighbouring holdings (Spickovina 1 and Spickovina 2) was notified at the same time on the 8th March 2017 following an increased mortality in birds (all poultry heads on both holdings were found dead). According to the observation of authorised veterinarian on the neighbouring area there are two small ponds on which wild ducks gather. AI subtype H5N5 in poultry was confirmed on the 13th March 2017. Following the confirmation of AI, the measures were applied on 15 holdings on 14th March 2017, and approximately 248 poultry heads were killed and destroyed. Three neighbouring holdings were additionally tested and two (out of three; Spickovina 3 and Spickovina 4) reacted positively to avian influenza. There were no clinical signs (including mortality) on those holdings. Virus sequencing was finished on the 15th March; highly pathogenic avian influenza is confirmed. |
