Avian Flu: Argentina Restores Its Disease-Free Status Following Outbreaks in Recent Months

Senasa has submitted its self-declaration report to the OMSA and will resume trade negotiations with countries that require avian influenza-free status.

The National Agri-Food Health and Quality Service (Senasa) announced the reinstatement of Argentina's status as a country free of avian influenza—specifically highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)—following the eradication of outbreaks detected in commercial poultry over recent months in two provinces.

This measure was officially communicated to the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) via a self-declaration report documenting the procedures and controls implemented throughout the national territory.​

Buenos Aires: A case of avian influenza was detected in backyard birds in Carlos Spegazzini​

The result was confirmed by the SENASA laboratory after analyzing samples from ducks and chickens. Sanitary measures for virus containment have already been implemented in the prevention area.

September 16, 2026

Through laboratory diagnosis, the National Service for Agrifood Health and Quality (SENASA) registered a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 in a backyard poultry farm in Carlos Spegazzini , Buenos Aires province .

The case was detected after receiving notification of mortality on a property in the aforementioned location (Latitude: -34.92122; Longitude: -58.61182), which was attended by SENASA personnel in the jurisdiction to carry out the attention of the suspicion and the corresponding collection of samples.

To prevent the spread of the virus, a 3 km prevention area was delimited around the outbreak , where biocontainment measures and epidemiological tracing will be carried out , with the aim of determining possible epidemiological links.

It is important to note that the finding does not affect Argentina's health status as a country free of AIAP and that the disease is not transmitted through the consumption of poultry products, such as meat and eggs.

Given this health situation, all poultry producers are advised to reinforce management, hygiene, and biosecurity measures on their farms. Key actions include regularly monitoring the entry of people and vehicles, increasing the cleaning and disinfection of facilities, equipment, and supplies, and preventing contact between wild birds and production units.

Similarly, backyard poultry owners are reminded to keep facilities, feeders and waterers in proper hygienic condition, prevent wild birds from entering the property, and use clothing exclusively for tasks related to raising the birds.

If neurological, nervous, or digestive signs are observed in birds, or if high mortality rates are recorded, it is essential to notify SENASA immediately. Anyone can do so at the nearest SENASA office (in person or by phone); via WhatsApp at (11) 5700–5704; by email to notificaciones@senasa.gob.ar ; or through the "Notify SENASA" form, available on our website.
