EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS


SENACSA has been notified of two outbreaks of avian influenza in backyard poultry. The outbreak in the District of Mariscal Estigarribia and the outbreak in Colonia Neuland were notified to SENACSA on May 18, 2023. The official Veterinary Service has arranged specific sanitary measures and has activated the National Animal Health Emergency System (SINAESA) and epidemiological surveillance in the area. Since the confirmation of positive cases (outbreaks), emergency zoning has been carried out, establishing control areas, infected zones and buffer or containment zones as specified in the Master Plan for Preparedness and Response to Animal Health Emergencies and the Avian Influenza Contingency Plan. Tracing brigades have been established to carry out the tasks of monitoring farms and observing birds throughout the perifocal zone and the surveillance area, which are planned based on epidemiological risk due to proximity to the outbreak. As a biosecurity measure, disinfection points were also established at the main access points to the areas near the outbreaks.
