Epidemiology Source of the outbreak(s) or origin of infection Unknown or inconclusive Epidemiological comments Samples from Yunlin County were sent to the National Laboratory, Animal Health Research Institute (AHRI) for diagnosis. Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N2 subtype was confirmed by AHRI. The infected farm in Yunlin County has been placed under movement restriction. All animals on the infected farm have been culled. Thorough cleaning and disinfection have been conducted after stamping out operation. The sampling spot of the discarded geese was also disinfected. Surrounding poultry farms within 3 km radius of the infected farm and the sampling spot are under intensified surveillance for three months. Suspected signs were observed in poultry carcasses during post-mortem inspection in one abattoir in Taipei City. Samples were sent to the AHRI for diagnosis. H5N2 subtype HPAI was confirmed by the AHRI. The carcasses were destroyed and thorough cleaning and disinfection have been conducted in the abattoir. After tracing back to the farm of origin, any positive results will be included in follow-up reports.

Control measures Measures applied Movement control inside the country Disinfection / Disinfestation Screening Traceability Quarantine Surveillance outside containment and/or protection zone Official destruction of animal products Official disposal of carcasses, by-products and waste Stamping out Surveillance within containment and/or protection zone Vaccination prohibited No treatment of affected animals Measures to be applied No other measures

Epidemiology Source of the outbreak(s) or origin of infection Unknown or inconclusive Epidemiological comments Samples from Yunlin County and Changhua County were sent to the National Laboratory, Animal Health Research Institute (AHRI) for diagnosis. Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N2 subtype was confirmed by AHRI. The infected farms have been placed under movement restriction. All animals on the infected farms have been culled. Thorough cleaning and disinfection have been conducted after stamping out operation. Surrounding poultry farms within 3 km radius of the infected farms are under intensified surveillance for three months. Suspected signs were observed in poultry carcasses during post-mortem inspection in one abattoir in Taipei City. Samples were sent to the AHRI for diagnosis. H5N2 subtype HPAI was confirmed by the AHRI. The carcasses were destroyed and thorough cleaning and disinfection have been conducted in the abattoir. After tracing back to the farm of origin, any positive results will be included in follow-up reports.

Control measures Measures applied Movement control inside the country Disinfection / Disinfestation Screening Traceability Quarantine Surveillance outside containment and/or protection zone Official destruction of animal products Official disposal of carcasses, by-products and waste Stamping out Surveillance within containment and/or protection zone Vaccination prohibited No treatment of affected animals Measures to be applied No other measures

Epidemiology Source of the outbreak(s) or origin of infection Unknown or inconclusive Epidemiological comments Samples from Changhua County, Yunlin County and Pingtung County were sent to the National Laboratory, Animal Health Research Institute (AHRI) for diagnosis. Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N2 subtype was confirmed by AHRI. The infected farms have been placed under movement restriction. All animals on the infected farms have been culled. Thorough cleaning and disinfection have been conducted after stamping out operation. Surrounding poultry farms within 3 km radius of the infected farms are under intensified surveillance for three months. Suspected signs were observed in poultry carcasses during post-mortem inspection in two abattoirs in Taipei City and Pingtung County. Samples were sent to the AHRI for diagnosis. H5N2 subtype HPAI was confirmed by the AHRI. The carcasses were destroyed and thorough cleaning and disinfection have been conducted in the abattoir. After tracing back to the farm of origin, any positive results will be included in follow-up reports.

Control measures Measures applied Movement control inside the country Disinfection / Disinfestation Screening Traceability Quarantine Surveillance outside containment and/or protection zone Official destruction of animal products Official disposal of carcasses, by-products and waste Stamping out Surveillance within containment and/or protection zone Vaccination prohibited No treatment of affected animals Measures to be applied No other measures
