Veterinarians noted another mass death of seagulls due to bird flu. The disease was found in 60 birds found at the Hobšovické pond near Velvar in Kladno, informed the spokesman of the State Veterinary Administration (SVS), Petr Vorlíček. The investigation had already confirmed avian flu in the hundreds of laughing seagulls that died at the Trtí Zbrod pond near Mutěnice in Hodonínsk. Since this is a disease in wild birds, no special veterinary measures are taken. Veterinarians, however, warn of the constant risk of introducing the disease into poultry farms and appeal to breeders to observe biosecurity rules.
Around a hundred laughing gulls died near Mutěnice over the weekend. An examination at the Jihlava State Veterinary Institute on Tuesday confirmed highly pathogenic bird flu. According to Vorlíček, the infection was also found in approximately 60 dead seagulls at the Hobšovice pond near Velvar. Highly pathogenic avian influenza of the H5N1 subtype was confirmed by an examination at the State Veterinary Institute in Prague.
"In cases where avian flu appears in wild birds, SVS does not take extraordinary veterinary measures. However, in the affected locations, we inform poultry breeders about the occurrence of the disease and the need to comply with biosecurity rules. It is especially important to prevent poultry from coming into contact with wild birds, which are the source of infection," said SVS central director Zbyněk Semerád...
