Benin: the presence of avian influenza reported in Sèmè-Podji and Calavi

By Cochimau S. Houngbadji the 25 August 2021 to 1:50 p.m.

In a press release dated Wednesday, August 25, 2021, the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Gaston Dossouhoui, confirmed the presence of avian flu in two localities in the country. The virus was detected after analysis, in Tohouè in the commune of Sèmè-Podji and in Kpanroun in the commune of Abomey-Calavi.

It is now official. The avian flu virus is present in Benin. According to a press release from the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, “samples were taken from three farms for analysis at the national veterinary laboratory. The results revealed the presence of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus in the farms of Tohouè (Municipality of Sèmè-Podji) and Kpanroun in the municipality of Abomey-Calavi ” .

The minister specifies in his press release that the analysis of the samples taken from the farm in Ouidah was negative. As of today, the virus has therefore not been declared in this town. “In such circumstances and according to international regulations, any suspicion of this disease must be immediately notified to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the confirmation or not of the biological diagnosis must be made by the reference laboratory of the same organization. Thus, on August 20, 2021, Benin notified OIE of the suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in infected farms ” , specified the Minister.
