[Joongang Daily] Enter 2017.02.09 09:41
The H5N8 virus has been confirmed to have been found in a chicken farm in Gyeongbuk, South Jeolla Province, where a suspicious report of a highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) was filed on June 6.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock and Livestock Food and Drug Administration announced on August 8 that H5N8-type AI virus was confirmed as a result of a close inspection of 120,000 grain farms in Gimje, Jeonbuk Province. This is the first time the H5N8 strain has appeared in a farmhouse this winter, not the H5N6 virus. Investigations are still underway to determine whether the disease is highly pathogenic. Whether the disease is highly pathogenic will come on the 9th.
This is the first time H5N8 AI has been detected in wild birds, but it is the first time that H5N8 AI has been identified in poultry farms. Meanwhile, poultry farms have found H5N6 AI. In Jeonbuk, it has already been released for more than a month since the measles was already infected by AI. However, this time, the H5N8 virus occurred at the farm in Gimje Mountain.

An official of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, said, "In the case of H5N8, a lot of cases occurred in duck farms in the past, so all the duck farmers in the country were tested for AI until the 7th day. It's unexpected. " Considering the fact that wild birds have been infected with H5N6 and H5N8 viruses recently in the Jeonbuk Dongrim Reservoir in Jeonbuk Province, it is estimated that the virus has been infected by migratory birds.
Authorities have completed the slaughter of the Kimje Mountain Farm on the last six days of suspicion. Within a radius of 500m, 199,000 raised by poultry farmers have also been prophylactically slaughtered. He also said he is restricting transportation to the whole poultry farm in Gimje City by 12th. The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries will hold a council on the abatement of AI cattle at 2 pm on March 9 to check on the situation and discuss further measures.

Meanwhile, chickens at an egg farm in Gimje, North Jeolla Province, were confirmed to have been infected with the H5N8 avian influenza virus, Wednesday. This follows a series of infections which first occurred last November, after a previous outbreak in 2014.
This is the first time the H5N8 virus, which up until now has only been found in wild birds, has been detected in farm poultry.
Authorities believe the virus was brought into the farm by migratory birds based on recent infections discovered in birds at a reservoir in the adjacent county of Gochang, North Jeolla Province.
