STATEWIDE SUMMARY:
Total number of affected premises =6
Total number of affected counties = 2
Premises by County/Number of flocks
Dubois: 4
Greene: 2
Total number of birds affected in Indiana
Commercial Turkeys: 171,260
CURRENT SITUATION
Avian influenza has been detected in an additional commercial poultry flock.
DUBOIS4: Laboratory testing of a commercial flock of turkeys in Dubois County has identified H5 avian
influenza virus. This is considered a presumptive-positive case, and samples are being verified at the USDA
National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) in Iowa. This is the sixth farm (known as Dubois4) in Indiana to
be diagnosed with avian influenza. Pending verification test results should indicate if the virus is the same as
the index farm diagnosed on Feb. 9 and if the virus is highly pathogenic.
Depopulation efforts are underway on the premises, which houses 16,479 birds.
The location of Dubois4 is approximately 6/10 of a mile south from the Dubois3 site; therefore, a sixth 10-km
circle control area has been established. All commercial poultry within this control area will be
quarantined and tested regularly for the duration of this event (i.e., until the control area is lifted).
