Highly pathogenic bird flu confirmed from dead crows in Hamatombetsu Town
March 22, 19:29

Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was identified in the carcasses of three Jungle Crows found in Hamatombetsu last week. Wild birds infected with bird flu have been found one after another in Hokkaido this season, and the road is calling on people not to touch them if they find dead birds.

According to the Soya General Promotion Bureau, on the 14th of this month, seven Jungle Crows were found dead in Hamatombetsu Town, and as a result of a simple test, positive reactions to bird flu were confirmed from three birds.
After that, Hokkaido University, which received a request from the Ministry of the Environment, conducted a detailed genetic test, and found that all three birds were found to have a highly pathogenic "H5N1" avian influenza virus with a high mortality rate.
The Soya General Promotion Bureau and the Ministry of the Environment have decided to conduct an urgent investigation to see if there are any dead wild birds within a radius of 10 km from the place where the carcass was recovered. ..
