    Low Pathogenic Strain Confirmed

    dec 7, 2015

    The State government of Cham told, it is a low pathogenic variant of the influenza of subtype H5N2 pathogen.

    This means that no more blocking and monitoring area should be established, which would have affected other poultry farms within a radius of three to ten kilometers of the operation. Instead, a smaller restricted area within a radius of at least one kilometer around the affected property will be set up immediately. In this area, poultry and eggs should not be sold. For poultry farmers also special hygiene requirements apply.
    Der bei G?nsen in einem Gefl?gelbetrieb in Roding (Lkr. Cham) gefundene Erreger ist eine deutlich weniger gef?hrliche Variante des Influenza-Erregers. Daher wird nur ein kleines Sperrgebiet im Umkreis von einem Kilometer um das Anwesen eingerichtet.
