Confirmed cases of bird flu in the Los Lagos Region increase to five
By Claudio Weken -
Apr 7, 2023

The Agricultural and Livestock Service, SAG, detected three more cases of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), H5N1 variant, in black-necked swans in the Los Lagos Region, specifically in the Curaco de Vélez commune, in the province of Chiloé.

It should be remembered that until now there were only two confirmed cases, one initially in the Ancud commune and another in the Panitao sector in the Puerto Montt commune, so now the number of confirmed cases rises to five.

The mayoress of Curaco de Vélez, Javiera Yáñez, reported having received notification from the SAG of the new confirmed cases of bird flu.

For his part, the Director of the SAG Agricultural and Livestock Service, Cristian Andrade, pointed out that according to the diagnosis of the laboratory at the moment there are 3 confirmed cases in black-necked swans in the last hours.

In this context, the head of the SAG in the region indicated that they are awaiting the results of samples in more birds in the sector, so it cannot be ruled out or affirmed that this number of confirmed cases may increase...

250 black-necked swans have died in Valdivia from bird flu: the area could become a natural reservoir of the virus
by El Mostrador News Desk 8 April, 2023

Experts from the Universidad Austral de Chile detailed that the disease has already been transmitted to other birds. In addition, they warn that the mortality could affect up to 15% of the swan population, whose last census revealed the existence of more than 2,700 specimens in the sanctuary. "We have observed cahuil gulls dying and with symptoms similar to those shown by swans. We also observed a mink and several tiuques, traros and jotes eating on swan carcasses. All of the above suggests that avian influenza will be transmitted from swans to birds birds of prey and scavengers," said Eduardo Jaramillo, an academic at the UACh Faculty of Sciences and member of the Río Cruces Wetland Monitoring Program, confirming suspicions that the disease has already been transmitted to other birds in the sanctuary.

Since the first cases of avian influenza (H5N1) were detected in the Carlos Anwandter Nature Sanctuary in Valdivia, more than 250 black-necked swans have been removed and incinerated by the virus.

Researchers from the Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh) warn that the area could become a natural reservoir of bird flu, that is, a place where the virus is permanently housed and a possible constant source of infection.

On March 20, researchers from the Río Cruces Wetland Monitoring Program of the Faculty of Science of the Austral University of Chile found the first specimens of black-necked swans with signs of contagion.

Since then, the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) has focused its efforts on monitoring the almost 4,900 hectares of protected space. Faced with this situation, UACh researchers have detailed that the disease has already been transmitted to other birds, specifying that "it may worsen as time goes by, due to the high transmission rate of this virus."

In addition, they warn that the mortality could affect up to 15% of the swan population, whose last census revealed the existence of more than 2,700 specimens in the sanctuary.

Eduardo Jaramillo, an academic at the UACh Faculty of Sciences and a member of the Río Cruces Wetland Monitoring Program, confirmed suspicions that the disease has already been transmitted to other birds in the sanctuary.

"We have observed cahuil gulls dying and with symptoms similar to those shown by swans. We have also observed a mink and several tiuques, traros and jotes eating on swan carcasses. All of the above suggests that avian influenza will be transmitted from swans to birds raptors and scavengers," Jaramillo told El Mercurio.

Likewise, the academic from the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences of the UACh, Claudio Verdugo, affirmed to the same newspaper that the percentage of mortality of birds can increase, given that "not all dead animals are findable or salvageable. There is a percentage of individuals Those that die, that get trapped in roots in the middle of the vegetation, are lost. This can get worse and mortality can be worse."
 
Carelmapu: Confirmation of avian flu in sea lions is expected




The regional director(s) of Sernapesca, Branny Montecinos, reported that the first case of bird flu in a sea lion found with signs of the disease in Carelmapu is being confirmed.

In conversation with the Aquaculture Region of Radio Sago, he explained that the case is under suspicion, despite the fact that the first sample was positive for Avian Influenza.

However, and as dictated by the protocol, we must wait for the respective counter sample.

Alert for the discovery of dead sea lions and ducks in the Province of San Antonio: it is feared that it is a product of avian influenza (unconfirmed)

Two dead sea lions appeared on Llolleo beach, who immediately raised alert to the strandings and deaths of several specimens on the coast of the country due to avian influenza. Added to that is a sack of ducks that appeared in a garbage container on the corner of Almirante Latorre and Balmaceda, two blocks from the Grande beach in Cartagena.

"The SAG (Agricultural and Livestock Service) reiterates the call to citizens not to touch or move sick or dead birds, while the owners and owners of poultry are urged to take extreme biosecurity measures in their facilities, mainly by locking up their birds to avoid contact with wild or other birds that may be affected," they reiterated from the entity.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS

This is the first detection of avian influenza H5N1 in an unusual host in the national territory (marine mammal); sea lion Otaria flavescens is the affected species. Regarding organization, the National Directorate of the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (SERNAPESCA) carries out the risk assessment and defines the actions to be implemented in each zone; Regional Directorates are responsible for implementing these measures. To date, the agent has not been detected in other marine mammals. Following the first detection of the pathogen, and based on the location where the affected animal got stranded, a disease control zone was defined along the coastline, where notification of stranded animals is reinforced with sectoral users and clinical and molecular surveillance is implemented in animals with signs and symptoms consistent with highly pathogenic avian influenza, aimed at the early detection and timely control of the spread of the virus. In geographic areas that are not within this zone, passive surveillance will be maintained, focusing on the follow-up of reports.

SAG detected positive cases of Avian Influenza in the commune of Puerto Varas
In chicken coops and also in wild birds (choroy parrot).

Yesterday the SAG reported the finding of positive cases of influenza virus type A, H5N1 (Avian Influenza) in the commune of Puerto Varas, both in poultry and wild birds, for which we talked with SAG veterinarian Juan José Llantén, head of the Avian Influenza Campaign in the Los Lagos region.

In this regard, Llantén explained "The Avian Influenza virus has been identified in all continents, that includes the American continent, all the countries of America, with the exception of Brazil, have positive cases. In Chile all the regions of the country have positive cases and, in the Los Lagos region, all the provinces of the region have positive cases as well”.

“In the case of the Province of Llanquihue, we have worked for more than a month with positive cases first in the Panitao sector, then a second case in Chinquihue Alto, which was a little more than 4 km away, then we had a first case of wild birds in the commune of Puerto Varas, on the route that connects Puerto Varas with Río Frío, where there was a report of some parrots being run over and it is quite rare to find one parrot being run over and, even more rare, finding 20 parrots being run over. Indeed, they were positive for the avian influenza virus and, a couple of days ago, a group of birds with symptoms was identified in a backyard, in a chicken coop, and indeed the samples were sent to the reference laboratory and the positive case was confirmed. of an influenza A virus, H5N1 of high pathogenicity "...​

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS
Since the last report, cases have been observed in wild birds and outbreaks have continued to appear in backyard birds (non-commercial) in inland areas of the country; they are associated with water sources such as ponds or dams, with some cases in clustered populations due to outdoor rearing and overnight housing in poultry houses. Additionally, new positive wild species have continued to be detected and have been included into the WOAH list.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS
This is the first detection of avian influenza H5N1 in an unusual host in the national territory (marine mammal); sea lion Otaria flavescens is the affected species. Regarding organization, the National Directorate of the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (SERNAPESCA) carries out the risk assessment and defines the actions to be implemented in each zone; Regional Directorates are responsible for implementing these measures. To date, the agent has not been detected in other marine mammals. Following the first detection of the pathogen, and based on the location where the affected animal got stranded, a disease control zone was defined along the coastline, where notification of stranded animals is reinforced with sectoral users and clinical and molecular surveillance is implemented in animals with signs and symptoms consistent with highly pathogenic avian influenza, aimed at the early detection and timely control of the spread of the virus. In geographic areas that are not within this zone, passive surveillance will be maintained, focusing on the follow-up of reports.

Avian flu kills 10% of penguin species population in Chile as it grapples with unprecedented outbreak
Country strengthens measures to protect marine animals amid spread of disease among birds and mammals
By AFP
06/11/2023 11:20 am Updated 22 hours ago

On the white sands of Isla Damas, in northern Chile, where tourists used to have fun watching its rich fauna, today only sanitary brigades dressed in biosafety suits are seen looking for dead animals.

The fear of avian influenza caused by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (IAAP) (H5N1) forced the closure of the Humboldt Penguin National Reserve, in the region of Coquimbo, where Damas Island is located and which is home to 56% of the breeding pairs of this species of penguin endemic in Chile and Peru.

As a result of the current avian flu crisis, 10% of the Humboldt penguin population in Chile has died this year, according to the National Fisheries Service (Sernapesca).

“The Humboldt penguin is in a vulnerable conservation category and will probably be in another category after this, much more at risk”, warns Gerardo Cerda, Sernapesca's regional manager for conservation and biodiversity.

For the past six months, teams from the Agricultural Service (SAG), the National Forestry Company (Conaf) and Sernapesca have redoubled their efforts to prevent the spread of the disease in the reserve, where there are also fur seals, petrels and guanay cormorants. Patrols roam this island collecting corpses to prevent the spread of the disease.

unprecedented crisis

In total, in Chile, the H5N1 virus has already affected fifty species, including pelicans, sea otters and gulls. A 53-year-old man was infected and admitted to hospital in serious condition.

More than 1,300 Humboldt penguins and 8,000 other marine species, mostly sea lions, have died of avian flu. The unprecedented spread among mammals has alerted experts.

“The 1,300 (registered cases) are probably less than the actual number” of dead penguins, said Gerardo Cerda, from Sernapesca in Coquimbo, and explained that “there are sectors with cliffs, where specimens can run aground and not be seen”. ..​
 
More than 11,000 animals have died from bird flu in Chile
Published: Monday, June 12, 2023 at 6:58 p.m.

Author: Cooperativa.cl
The authorities corroborated the death of 9,853 sea lions, 1,555 Humboldt penguins, 27 chungungos, 21 spiny porpoises, 14 Chilean dolphins and one mane.​.
Senapesca made a balance this Monday on the advance of bird flu in Chile, detailing that a total of 11,471 specimens have died as a result of this influenza.

Of this universe, the authorities confirmed the death of 9,853 sea lions, 1,555 Humboldt penguins, 27 chungungos, 21 spiny porpoises, 14 Chilean dolphins and one huillín.

One of the latest cases was reported in a common sea lion in Melinka, in the Guaitecas archipelago, Aysén Region. Jorge Padilla, deputy regional director of Sernapesca Aysén, commented that "thanks to a phone call, a citizen reported that a dead sea lion was found on Repollal beach, La Virgen sector, Isla de las Guaitecas."

"When officials from the Melinka community office attended, they were able to identify that it corresponded to a juvenile common sea lion, which, given the conditions with no apparent cause of death, was sampled for avian influenza, testing positive for this disease," Padilla added about the second case of positive sea lion in the Aysén Region.​..:tiphat:https://cooperativa.cl/noticias/soc...e-aviar-en-chile/2023-06-12/185124.html​​​​​​

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS
Since the last report, cases have been reported in wild birds and outbreaks in backyard birds (birds other than poultry) in inland areas of the country, associated with water sources such as ponds or dams, with some cases in clusters due to outdoor rearing and overnight housing in poultry houses. Additionally, new positive wild species have continued to appear and have been incorporated into the WOAH list. There have been cases with clear evidence of contact between wild birds or exposure to bodies of water. In a few cases, the mode of virus transmission is inconclusive.

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS
Since the last report, cases have been reported in wild birds and outbreaks in backyard birds (birds other than poultry) in inland areas of the country, associated with water sources such as ponds or dams, with some cases in clusters due to outdoor rearing and overnight housing in poultry houses. Additionally, new positive wild species have continued to appear and have been incorporated into the WOAH list. There have been cases with clear evidence of contact between wild birds or exposure to bodies of water. In a few cases, the mode of virus transmission is inconclusive.

SAG raises alert and intensifies surveillance in the face of the alarming advance of avian influenza on the continent

The Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) has raised its alert level for highly pathogenic avian influenza, H5N1, intensifying sanitary surveillance throughout the national territory, given the complex situation of this disease in several countries in the northern hemisphere. Although Chile remains free of avian influenza in poultry, the virus is present in migratory birds that currently arrive from the northern hemisphere, which increases the risk of contagion.

It should be noted that this disease is spreading more rapidly and extensively compared to the outbreak recorded in December 2022, which progressively affected all regions of our country. It is therefore essential to remind bird owners to take extreme biosecurity measures, avoiding any contact with wild birds.

Rodrigo Sotomayor, acting national director of SAG, explains that “avian influenza is a highly contagious viral disease that affects domestic and wild birds, and in rare cases, also mammals and people. Therefore, prevention is key to avoiding contagion, taking measures to prevent contact between poultry and wild birds, and immediately reporting any suspicious symptoms or deaths of poultry.”

Among the mandatory biosecurity measures established by the SAG for poultry owners are to always keep them in a protected place (chicken coop), isolated from wild birds and other animals; ensure that water and food do not come from sources where there are wild birds; wear clothing exclusively for handling birds; disinfect footwear; wash hands before and after handling them and keep the surroundings of the chicken coop clean.

Situation of avian influenza on the continent

According to data from the SAG International Surveillance System (pre-border), which monitors the evolution of the avian influenza epizootic in America, a significant increase in outbreaks has been detected during 2024 since October.

In North America, Canada reported 37 infected establishments, resulting in the culling of 937,327 birds. The United States recorded 64 outbreaks in commercial poultry and 41 in backyard birds, with a total of 16,230,000 birds culled.

In South America, along the Pacific migration route, Peru and Ecuador have faced sporadic outbreaks of the disease, even with the use of vaccines. In Colombia, since the first case in backyard birds was recorded in December in the Department of Chocó, new outbreaks have been identified on the border with Panama and in the Department of Magdalena, bringing the total to seven outbreaks to date.

Although Chile has been free of avian influenza in poultry since August 2023, the latest event of this disease had a significant impact in our country. This outbreak affected more than 100,000 wild birds belonging to 52 species, 175 backyard poultry establishments, 12 commercial poultry establishments, in addition to the closure of 78 markets for the export of national poultry products, of which 62 have been able to reopen, the last and most important being China. In addition, it affected marine mammals, including more than 20,000 sea lions and one human case.

Exotic bird disease insurance

It is important to remember that the “Exotic Disease Insurance for Birds” from Agroseguros is currently in force, a free tool that protects bird owners. The insurance covers deaths resulting from sanitary slaughter of birds that are ordered by the Agricultural and Livestock Service based on an Exempt Resolution, due to the presence of any of the diseases covered by the policy, including avian influenza. The insurance will only compensate birds that the health authority (SAG) orders to be slaughtered once the producer has made a complaint. It will not compensate birds that are already dead at the time of the first inspection visit by the SAG, which is why early reporting by the producer is important.

In case it is necessary to collect this insurance, it is necessary to comply with some requirements: the owners of backyards with up to 1,000 birds must have the Unique Livestock Registry (RUP). Those who have more than 50 birds must have a physical place closed on all sides (chicken coop or other), which prevents the birds from leaving and the entry or contact with other animals, people and vehicles.

For their part, industrial producers with flocks of 1,001 to 20,000 birds must meet the following requirements: have an updated Declaration of Animal Existence (DEA) from the SAG, no more than one year old from the event; implement strict control of entry and exit to the farm, which must be protected by a perimeter fence that prevents access by unauthorized persons, animals and vehicles. In addition, all entries and exits must be recorded daily. Finally, it is mandatory to keep an updated record of the sanitary management of the birds, including the management of dead birds.

SAG Call

If your birds show any of the following symptoms: lack of appetite, lack of coordination, ruffled feathers, labored breathing with nasal secretions, diarrhea, decreased egg production (with soft or deformed shells), swelling of the head and bluish color on the crest, wattles and legs, prostration or death, contact SAG immediately.
Go to the local office of the Service closest to where the sick or dead birds are located, call the Telephone Service Center at 2 2345 1100 (Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.), or write to oficina.informaciones@sag.gob.cl .
