PLEASE NOTE: The data displayed in the following report are the most recent AIV PRELIMINARY test results provided to the CWHC by participating program partners unless otherwise stated. All survey numbers are displayed for the current calendar year.
* Matrix positive includes all birds that tested ‘not negative’ by PCR for one or more Influenza A viruses. The number of positive test results included both those birds that tested POSITIVE (Ct value less than 36) and those that had a INCONCLUSIVE test result (Ct value greater than or equal to 36).
Any samples found to be matrix POSITIVE or INCONCLUSIVE are then tested by PCR for H5 and H7 strains at the regional level. Any samples that are then found to be either H5 or H7 POSITIVE or INCONCLUSIVE are immediately sent to the NCFAD for confirmation and identification. Authorities from the province or region where the bird was sampled will be notified when preliminary H5 or H7 positive results are found at the regional lab. When the CFIA confirms and identifies the virus, authorities from across the country will be notified. This update reports all POSITIVE or INCONCLUSIVE PRELIMINARY matrix results unless otherwise stated.
