    EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS
    The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) was notified of unusual mortality in commercial turkey farms in Ontario. The birds tested negative for common avian diseases and for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). The CFIA National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease has now confirmed that the virus was avian metapneumovirus. Genome sequences of the virus are more than 99.8% identical to the avian metapneumovirus isolate aMPV-B/turkey/VA/USA/ADRDL-3 (NCBI accession #PP273458.1). This is the first confirmation of Turkey rhinotracheitis in poultry in Canada. No control measures are undertaken.

    A new avian virus has appeared for the first time in southern Ontario — and it's not bird flu


    CBC News | Posted: Wednesday, May 29th, 2024 9:21 AM | Last Updated: Just now

    Two farms in the region have lost birds to the Avian metapneumovirus subtype

    Caption: The Ontario Animal Health Network says in April two flocks in southwestern Ontario testes positive for aMPV subtype B. (Andrew Rush/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
    …..
    A virus that can wreak havoc on poultry farms and was until now unheard of in the province has appeared in southwestern Ontario, infecting and killing hundreds of turkeys with its arrival
    Avian metapneumovirus subtype B (aMPV B), which attacks the respiratory system of birds, and is especially problematic for poultry, resulted in the deaths of 253 turkeys in southwestern Ontario in recent months, according to the World Animal Health Information System.
    The turkeys killed by the virus include 166 birds at a farm in Centre Wellington, north of Guelph, and 87 birds at a farm in Huron-Kinloss in Bruce County.
    The arrival of the virus in Ontario comes at the same time as concerns continue to mount over a highly contagious form of avian flu……

    "For someone in my business, it's very scary because it's a large threat. It's a high risk," said Jorge Cota, the president of Canadian Select Genetics Ltd., a turkey breeder in Putnam, Ont. "We're really tightening things down, and we're on high alert because this can be very ……

    …..issued the latest in a number of increasingly urgent warnings to the province's poultry farmers.
    It included a recommendation that biosecurity protocols at farms be heightened, and contained a specific nod to increasing concerns for farms in Middlesex, Oxford and Perth counties.
    Noting the financial impacts the virus has had on farms in the United States, Cota said those warnings should not be taken lightly.
    "Commercial farmers tend not to think at as highly a level as we do about biosecurity, but I'm sure they're aware and nervous. They've heard a lot of stories out of the U.S., and know what could happen to them," he said.
    "But, you never know when someone or something is going to bring it onto your farm. Everyone learns eventually, but many people never think it'll happen to them."​
