Epidemiological comments As part of the pre-slaughter testing and surveillance program for H5/H7 Avian Influenza, H7N3 low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) was detected in a commercial meat-type turkey flock. Partial HA /NA sequencing determined the H7 and N3 to be a low pathogenic virus of North American wild bird lineage. A comprehensive epidemiological investigation with enhanced surveillance is ongoing. State officials have quarantined the affected premises and implemented movement controls. Partial sequencing is consistent with LPAI North American wild bird lineage, and partial fragments of subsequent samples collected are 100% similar to index case. Further characterization is pending virus recovery.
