PARIS, April 18 - Liberia has reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza on a poultry farm, the World Organisation for Animal Health said on Friday.
...
The outbreak, detected in February on a farm in the Bong county, killed 18 birds out of a flock of 26,000, the Paris-based WOAH said, quoting information from Liberian authorities.

Apparently Liberia denies which is very odd since the government submitted the original report to WOAH.

In an effort to alleviate panic of the outbreak among the populace, NPHIL said it conducted a thorough scientific investigation by local Liberian scientists at the National Reference Laboratory on 19 samples obtained from the Central Veterinary Lab (CVL) of the Ministry of Agriculture. “Test results were Negative for H5N1 in these CVL sentinel samples.”
Liberia notified (report date of April 17, 2025) the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) of its first detection (February 3, 2025) of HPAI (H5N1) in the country (in Bong county, Totota). In response, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Service (VS) is restricting imports of poultry from Liberia entering the United States. The measure is imposed to protect against disease that could harm the health, quality, or marketability of U.S. agricultural animals, as well impact the health of Americans, the environment, and the U.S. national economy.
