    Around Donaueschingen: Measures against avian influenza extended
    dpa
    From dpa
    Thu, January 13, 2022 at 09:36

    Donaueschingen (dpa / lsw) - Because the avian influenza continues to be rampant in the Donaueschingen region (Schwarzwald-Baar district), the authorities have initially extended the protective measures until February 14th. In several communities in the districts of Schwarzwald-Baar and Tuttlingen, domestic poultry must remain in the barn. According to information from Thursday, the background is the discovery of a sick buzzard with neurological disorders, in which the highly contagious avian influenza virus H5N1 was detected. The seriously ill animal was killed.

    Avian influenza, also known as avian influenza, is a highly contagious infectious disease that mainly affects waterfowl. According to experts, the disease is harmless to humans. According to the Friedrich Loeffler Institute, infected birds have also been found in Rhineland-Palatinate, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia and Hamburg since mid-October.

    After finding infected swans in November near Donaueschingen and other affected animals, the district offices had imposed protective measures. Actually, this coming week should have ended because there was no new evidence of avian influenza in December. "However, the new find proves that the virus is still present in the wild bird population in the region and that there is still a risk for domestic poultry stocks," said the office in Villingen-Schwenningen. So far, however, no poultry has been infected.

    Current assessment of AI events
    On January 10, 2022, the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI) published an updated risk assessment for the occurrence of avian influenza in Germany. A heavy wave is imminent.
    Published on by editors / source ZDG / published on 01/13/2022

    Since mid-October 2021, numerous outbreaks in wild birds and poultry kept in Germany have been reported nationwide; the virus subtype H5N1 dominates. In Germany and Europe, there are signs of a severe wave of avian influenza. What is new about the current animal epidemic situation is that, despite a significant decrease in outbreaks last summer, cases of wild birds have repeatedly occurred, especially in northern Europe. Analyzes indicate that the viruses that have been circulating in Europe since October 2020 "summered" and that from September/October 2021 closely related but distinguishable H5N1 viruses were also introduced from the east.

    risk remains high

    Since mid-October 2021, numerous outbreaks in wild birds and poultry kept in Germany have been reported nationwide. The virus subtype H5N1 dominates. The risk of avian influenza viruses of the H5 subtype spreading to wild birds and of transmission to poultry and kept birds in Germany is still classified as high. In addition, there is a high risk of entry due to the spread of the virus between holdings within Germany and Europe. It is again urgently recommended to keep biosecurity measures in poultry farms at a high level and, if necessary, to improve them further.

    Should there be a permanent circulation of avian influenza viruses in wild birds (endemic situation), additional medium to long-term measures to protect poultry would have to be discussed.

    Avian influenza: H5N1 detected in several wild birds at Stormarn
    Released 10 minutes ago
    at the January 13, 2022
    from Stormarnlive News Channel

    Bad Oldesloe/Trittau – The suspicion of the presence of avian influenza (highly pathogenic avian influenza virus) has been confirmed in several wild birds that were found dead.

    The national reference laboratory (Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut) has the virus type H5N1 with findings from January 10, 2022 in a barnacle goose in the municipality of Steinburg, in a mallard in the municipality of Trittau and with findings from January 12, 2022 in a mute swan in the municipality of Grabau confirmed.

    In order to prevent any entry of the pathogen into poultry holdings, the district veterinary office issued a general decree of January 12, 2022, obliging animals to be kept in stables throughout the district and a ban on exhibitions, markets and events of a similar nature for poultry and other species of birds kept in captivity. ..

    Heidelberg
    Bird flu case in the zoo
    A goose died in the zoo at the beginning of the year. The zoo is taking action.
    January 7th, 2022, 4:28 pm

    Heidelberg. (RNZ) At the beginning of the year a goose died in the Heidelberg Zoo . And the investigation confirmed: the animal was infected with the avian flu pathogen H5N1. The zoo announced.

    Presumably she got infected from one of the wild birds that fly to the lake. Further deaths in the zoo in connection with the bird flu pathogen are not yet known.

    In order to protect the other feathered zoo inhabitants, security measures are now being taken immediately in close consultation with the veterinary authorities at the city of Heidelberg and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry for Food, Rural Areas and Consumer Protection. The zoo has over 400 birds in over 80 bird species, some of which are highly endangered such as the Socorro pigeons or the rare hornbills. In order to protect them as best as possible from infection, many of the birds have been brought into their homes or covered retreats since Friday. In order to avoid virus transmission by passing wild birds, all aviaries are covered with tarpaulins and tightly reinforced.

    In addition, bodies of water are drained so as not to attract any more wild birds. Constant controls and samples are taken for all bird species in order to determine the spread of the pathogen as early as possible.

    Avian influenza detected in Schwan in Saarland
    03/01/2022 | 5:33 pm

    The highly contagious avian influenza pathogen H5N1 has been detected in an injured wild bird in the municipality of Perl-Besch. In the communities of Perl and Mettlach, poultry must stay in the barn for the time being. There had already been cases of avian influenza on the Luxembourg border before.

    According to the Saarland Ministry of the Environment, the infected young swan was found with a spinal injury near the Moselle on December 28 and was taken in a private enclosure.

    After the animal had tested positive for the influenza virus during the precautionary examination by the State Office for Consumer Protection (LAV), the Friedrich Loeffler Institute in Greifswald confirmed the suspicion of avian influenza.
    Poultry stalls are compulsory in Perl and Mettlach

    The municipalities of Perl and Mettlach were affected by the measures against the spread of avian influenza due to the location where it was found. "In the affected communities there is a strict stable requirement and a ban on moving live poultry," said State Secretary Sebastian Thul from the Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection.

    All animals in the herd affected by the avian influenza would have to be killed as a precaution. A small holding with ten animals is affected.
    Or sick animals report dead ones

    According to the ministry, wild birds are not allowed access to food, litter and objects. Domestic fowl should not be soaked in surface water to which wild birds have access.

    Thul appealed to poultry farmers to be particularly vigilant and to inform the LAV about unclear illnesses and deaths in poultry. He also called on all citizens to report dead or sick wild birds such as ducks, geese or swans to the LAV at tierseuchen@umwelt.saarland.de.
    Other cases in Luxembourg

    Two cases of avian influenza were discovered on the Luxembourgish border with Saarland at the end of November. At the beginning of December, the Saarland LAV imposed compulsory stalls for commercial and hobby poultry keeping in the municipality of Perl and in the district of Faha of the municipality of Mettlach. The poultry house requirement came into force on Friday, December 10th, for an initial period of 50 days.
