Avian influenza on Neuwerk: These protective measures apply
H5N1
June 27, 2022
Several dead birds were discovered on the Elbe island of Neuwerk. They died from bird flu. To prevent the pathogen from spreading, island visitors now have to follow a few rules.
Numerous dead seabirds infected with an avian flu virus have been found on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein in recent weeks. Bird flu has also been detected in terns on the Elbe island of Neuwerk, which belongs to Hamburg.
In order to prevent the pathogen from spreading further, various mandatory measures now apply to Neuwerk:
Dogs must be kept on a leash throughout the island.
Domestic poultry may only be kept in closed stables or under protective devices. Company poultry farms must comply with additional safety measures. Poultry may not be brought in or out of the island.
Starting this Thursday, everyone leaving the island must disinfect shoes and potentially contaminated items. Dog owners must shower their dogs immediately before leaving the island. Appropriate disinfection tubs and washing facilities are provided...Comment

listen to the article
Potsdam- In Brandenburg, the first case of avian influenza was found in a wild bird this summer. The avian influenza pathogen H5N1 was detected in a dead gannet that was found in the Reppinichen district of the municipality of Wiesenburg/Mark (Potsdam-Mittelmark), the Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday.
As a rule, avian influenza has so far only occurred during spring and autumn migration periods. But in the past few weeks there have been cases in northern Germany and also in the Netherlands, said ministry spokesman Gabriel Hesse. According to an updated leaflet from the Ministry for Small Businesses and Hobby Poultry Farmers, several laying hen stocks in Lower Saxony are currently affected.
"Avian influenza no longer seems to be a seasonal event," said Secretary of State for Consumer Protection Anna Heyer-Stuffer. The cases of the past week in Germany and in neighboring European countries show that an outbreak can now be expected throughout the year. In the leaflet, poultry farmers are therefore asked to consistently observe the safety measures.

Wild bird avian influenza detected in the district of Wesel
Of
Editorial staff -
October 18, 2022
Kamp-Lintfort/district of Wesel. The Friedrich-Löffler-Institut (FLI) found the wild bird avian influenza type HPAI H5N1 in two wild geese that were found dead on October 6th on the Pappelsee in Kamp-Lintfort. The two geese had been sent to the CVUA RRW in Krefeld for examination by the Wesel District Veterinary and Food Monitoring Service. The suspicion diagnosed there has now been confirmed by the FLI.
The findings in the two wild geese from Kamp-Lintfort have no direct impact. In consultation with the State Office for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection, a district-wide obligation to set up stables has been refrained from for the time being. Excluded from this are parts of Schermbeck, Hünxe and Dinslaken, where housing had to be ordered due to an outbreak of avian influenza in Bottrop.
It is the first case in the Wesel district since spring. In April, all the animals in the largest turkey herd in the district had to be killed and disposed of harmlessly. The investigations at that time had shown that the virus was probably introduced from the wild bird population, and that it had not been carried over from or into other animal holdings.
The sometimes dramatic occurrence of epidemics in the wild bird population did not come to a standstill in Germany and Western Europe in the summer, especially in the coastal regions. At the same time, there were significantly more cases in domestic poultry in northern Germany than would be expected due to the season. In North Rhine-Westphalia there are currently three epidemic outbreaks in Bottrop, Münster and the district of Gütersloh.
The findings show, however, that the virus is also circulating in the wild birds here and it must be feared that it will spread rapidly in the coming months, especially since the arrival of winter guests has only just begun...Comment

Berlin zoo unexpectedly closes after bird flu case
Reuters | Posted: 6 hours ago | Updated: 6 hours ago | 1 Min Read
BERLIN (Reuters) - Berlin's zoo closed its doors without warning on Friday out of precaution after a case of avian flu was discovered in a wading bird that died earlier this week, it said in a statement.
The zoo, which welcomed over 3.7 million guests in 2019, its latest figure, did not mention when it would reopen to visitors.
"We have reacted immediately with far-reaching quarantine measures. Almost all birds - including our penguins - have now been moved to rear aviaries or stables," said Christian Kern, the zoological director of the zoo in Berlin's centre as well as the Tierpark zoo in the eastern part of the German capital.
Kern added that no other birds were showing corresponding signs of illness but all would still be tested for bird flu.Comment

Case of bird flu in the district of Lörrach - stall requirement for domestic poultry from February 8th
After the suspicion of the highly contagious avian influenza (HPAI, bird flu) of the H5N1 subtype in a dead wild bird in the district of Lörrach was confirmed today by the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut, the district office of Lörrach, in coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture, issues a general decree on the housing requirement for the entire District to prevent spread to domestic poultry stocks.
From tomorrow, Wednesday (February 8th), all commercial and private poultry farmers must therefore ensure that their poultry is housed in closed pens or is protected against the entry of wild birds by other devices, such as nets or gratings with a maximum mesh size of 25 mm . The stables are initially valid for the entire district until March 8, 2023.
The infected bird is a gull that was found in Weil am Rhein last week as part of increased monitoring. Cases of bird flu were also recently confirmed in neighboring Switzerland and in the Haut-Rhin department, and appropriate protective measures were taken. Areas where wild waterfowl congregate are particularly affected as they are the natural host of the virus. Since the district of Lörrach is surrounded by the Rhine to the south and west and the tributaries Wiese and Kander, which flow through large parts of the district, flow into it, there is a dense population of wild birds.
1,230 poultry farms are registered in the district. These are primarily located in urban areas close to rivers. In particular, the ten larger poultry farms with over 350 chickens are close to the water and in the immediate vicinity of the current case.
Further protective measures and the complete wording of the general decree can be viewed at www.loerrach-landkreis.de/Announcements.
Background:
Avian influenza, also known as avian influenza, is highly contagious for poultry and causes severe general symptoms. However, the Robert Koch Institute estimates the risk of virus transmission to humans as low. However, it is strongly advised not to touch dead birds and also to avoid pet contact with the animal.
Anyone who finds dead wild birds in the district is asked to report the location to the Veterinary & Food Monitoring Department (Email: Verbraucherschutz@loerrach-landkreis.de, Phone: 07621 410-2244).

First detection of avian influenza in wild birds this winter
Created: 2/22/2023Updated: 2/22/2023 5:18 p.m
Avian influenza was detected in a wild bird in Berlin for the first time this winter. A mute swan was affected, the Senate Department for Consumer Protection and the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg District Office announced on Wednesday. The animal had been found in the district. It had to be euthanized, it said. According to the information provided by the Friedrich Loeffler Institute (FLI), the Federal Research Institute for Animal Health, the finding has been confirmed.
Berlin - At the end of last year, there was already evidence of the H5N1 virus subtype in a water bird in the Berlin Zoo. The facility was then closed for weeks. According to the authorities, 26 affected wild birds were last known in Berlin in winter 2021/2022. The highly contagious subtype H5N1 is considered a problem, especially for large holdings and fattening farms, which then leads to culling. Nationwide, the FLI speaks of more than 100 affected wild birds from the beginning of the year to February 6th...Comment

Avian influenza in the Rhein-Neckar district
There is currently an obligation for poultry to be housed in the entire Rhein-Neckar district. Birds found dead should be reported to the veterinary office and not touched or moved.
After the avian influenza virus could previously be detected in individual wild birds in the Rhein-Neckar district, it has now been detected in a nandu at Walldorf Zoo. On Saturday, March 4th, the Friedrich-Löffler-Institut (FLI) confirmed the detection of the highly pathogenic influenza A virus of subtype H5N1. As a result of this new development - for the first time in the district, no wild birds were affected - from Wednesday, March 8th, a stall obligation for poultry came into force, which applies to the entire Rhein-Neckar district.
The affected nandu, a flightless bird, died on March 2, 2023 in Walldorf Zoo and was taken to the Chemical and Veterinary Investigation Office in Karlsruhe (CVUA KA) for examination. The avian influenza virus was detected there in a preliminary finding on March 3rd. The next day, on March 4th, the second Nandu kept in the zoo also died. This is also being investigated at the CVUA Karlsruhe. On Monday, March 6th, the veterinary office took samples from all animals susceptible to the avian influenza virus and brought them to Karlsruhe for examination. The Tierpark Walldorf was closed by the veterinary office and measures were taken to prevent the virus from spreading. In addition to an ordered disinfection, the birds living there are repeatedly examined for the avian influenza virus at short intervals until the outbreak has died down. In contrast to a livestock poultry population, avian influenza control in the zoo is generally carried out without killing.
A case of avian influenza (HPAI) in a peregrine falcon in the Rhein-Neckar district was officially confirmed on February 16, 2023. On February 24, a dead seagull was found at the Schwabenheim lock in Dossenheim. The highly pathogenic avian influenza virus of subtype H5N1 was detected in this animal on March 3 by the FLI.
Due to the detected outbreak of avian influenza in a kept bird in the Tierpark Walldorf and in wild birds in several places in the Rhein-Neckar district and in the neighboring districts and cities, the veterinary office in the Rhein-Neckar district district office issued a general decree to prevent the introduction of avian influenza at. This was published at www.rhein-neckar-kreis.de/announcements and came into force on Wednesday, March 8th. It includes an obligation to keep poultry in the entire Rhein-Neckar district (including chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, partridges, pheasants, ducks, geese, ostriches, emus and rheas). The obligation to set up stables, which was issued for certain municipalities with the general decree of March 3, 2023, is thus extended to the entire district. In the entire district, the affected poultry species must be kept in closed stalls or under an overhanging, dense cover and with a side boundary secured against wild birds. For example, a net or grid with a maximum mesh size of 25 millimeters is sufficient as a protective device.
In addition, poultry exhibitions and similar events are prohibited in the Rhein-Neckar district. In order to protect all poultry farms from infections, all poultry farmers are urged to comply with the biosecurity measures required by law. The general decree is limited and applies until the end of April 11, 2023, as long as there is no public announcement of an extension of the deadline.
The Rhein-Neckar-Kreis district office asks once again all citizens to report dead birds to the veterinary office and consumer protection in the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis district office (telephone 06221 522-4265, email veterinaeramt@rhein-neckar-kreis.de), the to the respective municipality or to the police, stating the place where it was found. The dead birds should not be touched or moved.
