EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS
Note: previously published precise location data of the outbreaks was changed to approximate in follow-up report 3 to insure privacy of the farmers. Update on 24.8.2023: Several HPAI H5N1 outbreaks on fur farms raising arctic foxes, silver foxes, American minks and raccoon dogs have been detected. Wild birds are currently considered the most likely source of the infection, based on epidemiological investigations and sequencing of the viruses. The competent authority has imposed restrictive orders on infected fur animal farms. All minks from the infected farms are culled. Other fur animals from infected farms are culled based on the decisions that are made on a case-by-case basis and do not necessarily apply to all animals on the farm. In addition, samples are taken from infected farms to monitor the course of the epidemic. If the virus is detected, the culling will continue. Veterinary authorities are working in tight collaboration with the public health authority. Improved biosecurity measures and use of personal protection equipment on fur farms are encouraged.

Finland: Food Safety Authority Reports 27th Fur Farm Infected With HPAI H5N1 (1st in North Ostrobothnia)



#17,697

After 20 Finnish Fur farms were found to be infected with H5N1 avian flu in the second half of July, the number of new cases has slowed (see chart below) - but as today's report shows - the threat is not over.



Today, for the first time in nearly a month - and in a previously unaffected region (North Ostrobothnia) - the Finnish Food Safety Authority (Ruokavirasto) has announced a new detection of the avian flu virus in a mink farm.


First today's (translated) announcement, after which I'll return with more.

A bird flu case in mink found in Northern Ostrobothnia

28 September 2023

Avian flu infection of fur animals has been found in farmed minks in Alavieska. This is the first case of bird flu in a fur farm in North Ostrobothnia. The case shows that the risk of bird flu infections is not over yet, and it is necessary to continue protective measures in fur farms.

Highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu has been found in a total of 27 fur farms. Except for the last one, these cases were found in the provinces of South and Central Ostrobothnia and Ostrobothnia in July-August.

The Alavieska bird flu case was discovered by the Food Agency on September 27 in investigations that were conducted after the owner of the fur farm reported the symptoms and deaths of the animals to the municipal veterinarian. The Food Agency orders all animals of the fur farm to be euthanized due to bird flu infection. The source of infection in the shelter is being investigated.

The bird flu survey for all fur farms in Finland has started in September. Sampling has progressed as planned. The first results of the survey are to be published at the beginning of next week (week 40).

As we've discussed numerous times over the years (see last January's That Touch of Mink Flu (2023 Edition), mink are particularly susceptible to COVID and Influenza A infection, raising concerns that they could act as a mixing vessel (see graphic below), possibly leading to the creation of a more dangerous virus.



This concern was well addressed a couple of months ago by two well known UK virologists in an opinion piece published in the Journal PNAS :

Mink farming poses risks for future viral pandemics

Thomas P. Peacock and Wendy S. Barclay
July 19, 2023
120 (30) e2303408120

https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2303408120

On August 1st, the food safety authority announced the decision to cull all of the mink housed at 3 H5N1 affected farms, stating that `Decisions to cull other animals will be made on a case-by-case basis'.

A little more than a week later (Aug 8th), Finland's Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) released a strong statementurging the Food Authority to take more decisive actions, warning:

Although mink is considered to be the most problematic animal species in terms of avian influenza virus infections, there are also risks associated with bird flu epidemics in dense, large animal populations of foxes and other fur-bearing animals, that the virus becomes more adaptable to mammals.

A week later Ruokavirasto pledged to test all of the fur farms in the country (n > 400), but stated it would take months to complete. Two weeks ago (Sept 13th), the Food Safety Authority finally ordered All Animals From Bird Flu Infected Fur Farms Be Euthanized.

We should see the first results from their survey of fur farms next week, but even if a farm tests clean today, that doesn't mean the virus can't gain entry tomorrow.

By now, presumably farm biosecurity has been improved across Finland, and yet new premises continue to be infected. With migratory birds returning from their summer roosting places, the risks of new outbreaks are only likely to increase this fall and winter.

The fur trade remains a major industry in parts of Northern Europe, Russia, North America, and China - but by raising thousands of these highly susceptible animals in extremely tight quarters - we risk giving avian flu (or COVID) a dangerous evolutionary advantage.

The new regulation obliges fur farms to be protected with nets and other measures to combat bird flu

Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry

16.1.2024 12.17 RELEASE

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has issued a decree on the protection of fur animals from bird flu transmitted from wild birds.

The regulation stipulates the measures that must be taken at fur farms in order to avoid contact of fur animals with birds and other harmful animals and their excrement. The openings of shelters, halls and other animal holding facilities in fur farms must be closed with either a net or other material so that birds cannot get inside the animal facilities. If a net is used, its mesh size may not exceed 25 x 25 mm. The access of seagulls under the cages and on the outside of the cages and possibly on top of the water pipes must be prevented between April 15 and October 31, when the seagulls are most likely to be in the area. This can be done either by installing a net per shade house from the eaves to the ground, or by installing a net between the eaves of the shade houses, preventing birds from flying under and next to the shade houses. The mesh size or material of the temporary net is not regulated.

The regulation also stipulates measures to combat other harmful animals. For example, vegetation must be kept short at a distance of two meters from buildings. The seagull net to be installed between the shade houses must be able to be moved out of the way to mow the grass or while spreading the manure. The material must be durable, and efforts must be made to prevent birds from getting caught in the net.

The decree also provides for the safe distribution of feed and the protection of feed stocks. Feeding and watering must be done in such a way that bird droppings do not contaminate feed or drinking water. The feed must be stored in closed containers, and the doors of the feed stores must be kept closed whenever the feed is not being moved, so that birds cannot fly into the feed storage areas.

In Finland, bird flu was found in fur animals for the first time in the summer of 2023. Infection has now been found in a total of 71 fur farms. Bird flu in fur animals is taken seriously, because the disease can become more easily contagious to humans in mammals. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has designated avian influenza in fur animals as another animal disease to be combated. As disease control measures, fur animals infected with avian flu are euthanized. In those fur farms that have so far been spared from infection, it is especially important to protect fur animals from birds and their excrement in order to avoid a similar epidemic in the future. The regulation entered into force on January 15, 2024 and will apply from April 15, 2024.

Follow-up report on 24.8.2023: Several HPAI H5N1 outbreaks on fur farms raising arctic foxes, silver foxes, American minks and raccoon dogs have been detected. Wild birds are currently considered the most likely source of the infection, based on epidemiological investigations and sequencing of the viruses. The competent authority has imposed restrictive orders on infected fur animal farms. All minks from the infected farms are culled. Other fur animals from infected farms are culled based on the decisions that are made on a case-by-case basis and do not necessarily apply to all animals on the farm. In addition, samples are taken from infected farms to monitor the course of the epidemic. If the virus is detected, the culling will continue. Veterinary authorities are working in tight collaboration with the public health authority. Improved biosecurity measures and use of personal protection equipment on fur farms are encouraged. Follow-up report on 5.10.2023: Starting from 11 September 2023, a new culling policy has been adopted and all animals on HPAI virus-positive farms, including foxes and common raccoon dogs, are culled. Note on 30/11/2023: Outbreak OB_127861 - 49 - UUSIKAARLEPYY previously reported was deleted in follow-up report No. 20 after further testing confirmed that it was negative. Note on 22/12/2023: After further data received from the country, the number of susceptible animals was lowered in the following outbreaks: ob_127504/35, ob_127506/36, ob_127508/38, ob_127512/42 and ob_127881/56.
