In Germany and neighboring countries, there is still no end in sight to the epidemic of avian influenza. On Monday, the district of Vechta announced that there was another outbreak of avian influenza. Around 14,000 laying hens have to be killed.
The bird flu virus had been detected on a farm in Dinklage. Just last week, the district reported evidence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) of the H5N1 subtype in a livestock facility in Dinklage. According to official information, almost 120,000 laying hens were culled as a precaution; A protection zone with a radius of 3 km was established around the plant.
And two weeks ago, a similar case from Dinklage became known. 110,000 laying hens had to be killed.

In the Netherlands, too, the epidemic has so far made no attempt to disappear. At least three outbreaks in livestock farms have been registered in the past two weeks; laying hens, broilers and ducks were affected. In Vlaardingen, avian influenza was detected in a petting zoo; there, too, the bird population was culled.
The epidemic is also not coming to a rest in France. After only wild birds, especially seabirds, were affected there for a long time, there have recently been outbreaks in livestock farming again. Last week it hit a farm with fattening turkeys in the Morbihan department in Brittany; the disease had previously become known in two poultry farms in the departments of Manche and Somme.
Observers take the ongoing infections as an indication that the disease is actually becoming endemic and is permanently settling in the environment or wild bird populations.
