Barquinha: H5N1 avian flu outbreak closes riverside park (W/AUDIO) - UPDATED
01/11/2022 at 17:41 Share on social networks:

There is a new outbreak of avian influenza detected in the Ribeirinho Park of Vila Nova da Barquinha. According to the information available, the Municipality said that the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus was detected.

The information was released by the Vila Nova da Barquinha City Council this Tuesday, January 11, with appeals to residents not to feed the animals in the riverside park and to avoid approaching them...

...This situation was detected last Saturday, January 8, when some dead ducks were found in the riverside park. According to the mayor of Vila Nova da Barquinha, as soon as these situations were detected, they were immediately reported to the DGAV, not least because the directorate-general is on the ground monitoring the situation related to the outbreak detected at the end of last year in a turkey farm in Limeiras.

The ducks found dead on Saturday were sent to DGAV laboratories, which reported this Tuesday, the 11th, that there is a focus of Avian Influenza there.

Fernando Freire met today with the Municipal Civil Protection and based on these facts, it was decided to ban visits from the entire Ribeirinho Park. This interdiction will be in effect until there is official information to collect it and it will always be the responsibility of the DGAV, which has the technical responsibility for these matters.

As the riverside park is in the village, the mayor made a very serious appeal to all people who have poultry houses or have animals in captivity that confine them in order to avoid contact with wild birds. This virus is very contagious and the confinement of birds is the way to avoid contagion and the increase of these outbreaks of H5N1...

In a statement, the municipality informed the population of the detection of this virus “in an animal found dead in Parque da Cidade” and of the decision to interdict the space, in “close and permanent contact with the Directorate-General for Food and Veterinary Medicine (DGAV)”.

“Respecting the hygiene and biosecurity guidelines” determined precisely by the DGAV, the municipality “decided to ban the City Park from the public, with immediate effect, for a period of not less than eight days”, the statement reads.

Cases of HPAI in wild birds

Since the end of July, several cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus infection have been detected in wild birds, namely seagulls, collected in the following locations:
  • Deserta Island, Faro municipality
  • Water Eyes, municipality of Albufeira
  • Gafanha da Nazaré, municipality of Ílhavo.
The confirmation of cases of HPAI in wild birds does not affect the health status of Portugal, which remains a country free of HPAI in poultry.

Given the evidence of circulation of the HPAI virus, the DGAV calls on all poultry keepers to strictly comply with biosecurity measures and good poultry production practices , which help to avoid direct or indirect contact between domestic birds and wild birds. Hygiene procedures for facilities , equipment and materials must be reinforced , as well as strict control of access to establishments where birds are kept.

It is also advised that handling sick or dead wild birds should be avoided .

If dead or sick wild birds are found in the wild, the local DGAV services in the respective area should be contacted in order to allow samples to be collected for testing. The list of contact details for the services can be found on the DGAV portal at https://www.dgav.pt/informacaoutil/content/contactos/ .

Alternatively, the ANIMAS application, available at https://animas.icnf.pt/ , can be used .

GAAP is a notifiable disease, so any suspicion must be reported immediately to the DGAV.
