Measures to combat a sanitary event is called a sanitary measure, he said, while explaining that there is no treatment for bird flu, the virus would remain spreading and become a source of contagion.

SENASA DETECTS TWO NEW FOCUSES OF AVIAN INFLUENZA IN WILD BIRDS AND ONE IN DOMESTIC


Details Published: 02 February 2023 Views: 110

The National Animal Health Service (SENASA) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock confirms the detection of the Avian Influenza virus in a backyard poultry farm located in Parrita, in the province of Puntarenas with a population of 130 animals, in addition to two new outbreaks in wild birds, in Playa Cabuya, Puntarenas and in Barra del Colorado, Limón.

Detection of these outbreaks was achieved through surveillance carried out by SENASA and by reporting mortality in chickens and wild birds.

The samples taken were sent to the National Laboratory of Veterinary Services (LANASEVE), where it was confirmed that it is Avian Influenza type A subtype H5.

The first confirmed cases in the country were four Brown Pelicans, found in Playa Cocles, in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limón on January 23.

SENASA has immediately adopted the following measures: control of the movement of animals in the places where the cases occurred, increased surveillance in the

surroundings, establishment of quarantine in houses with birds in places of risk and epidemiological investigation around the outbreaks.

As a result of the findings, a ban on poultry fairs and exhibitions was established, since these may represent a way of spreading the disease, which would have a severe impact on poultry production.
The transmission of avian influenza from birds to people occurs mainly through direct or indirect contact with sick birds. Regarding the sanitary safety of food, there is no evidence of transmission of the disease due to the consumption of poultry products such as: chicken meat, turkey, eggs and by-products," said Alexis Sandí, Head of the Epidemiology Department of SENASA.

SENASA reminds producers of the need to reinforce biosecurity measures in poultry farms, keep domestic birds locked up, to avoid contact with wild birds, as well as reinforce surveillance and report to official veterinary services; any suspicion of disease by sending a message to WhatsApp: 8634-1489, or to the nearest SENASA office.

SENASA confirms first cases of Avian Influenza in wild birds in national territory


Details Published: 24 January 2023 Views: 570

• The finding does not affect the export of poultry products nor does it represent a risk for commercial poultry establishments.
• The consumption of chicken, turkey, eggs, among others, is not a health risk.
• SENASA has a WhatsApp line to send reports of suspicious cases. Number 86341489.

The National Animal Health Service (SENASA), of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, confirmed, on January 24, the presence of three cases of Avian Influenza Type A, Subtype H5 in wild birds, Pelecanus occidentalis (Brown Pelican), found in Cocles beach, in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, province of Limón. The birds were transferred to a quarantine area.

SENASA clarifies that the reported event in wild birds in the Costa Rican Caribbean does not affect the export of poultry products, according to the Terrestrial Animal Health Code. In addition, the authorities reiterate that the consumption of products such as chicken meat, turkey, eggs, among others, is safe.

Given the finding, SENASA intensified epidemiological surveillance in backyard birds, as well as training on the disease for personnel involved in the management of wild birds, in order to achieve timely reporting of suspected cases. In addition, it implemented sanitary measures such as quarantine, tracking, and control of the areas close to the detected outbreak.

“This disease was exotic until now in Costa Rica. The identified outbreak is limited to wild birds; the disease has not been reported in domestic birds. The cases that were located in the Caribbean region are under control and do not represent a risk for commercial poultry establishments.” Said Alexis Sandi, head of the Department of Epidemiology of SENASA.

In North America, Europe and the countries of the Latin American coasts, as a result of the migrations of wild birds, an increase in cases of Avian Influenza has been detected from the north and towards the south.

For months, SENASA has been working, through a public-private alliance, with all the actors in the poultry production chain, so that they increase biosecurity measures .

If you see dead birds or those showing any symptoms of disease, do not approach them, do not handle them, do not try to rescue them or move them. If you find yourself in this situation, report it immediately to the nearest SENASA office, or send a message to the WhatsApp number: 86341489.
