With these cases, there are 27 HPAI H5N1 outbreaks in poultry in Spain in 2022.

The two new outbreaks of avian influenza detected in Spain are a broiler farm in the municipality of Pedrera and a laying hen farm in the municipality of Marchena, with an approximate census of 50,000 and 70,800 animals, respectively. The first of them is located in the radius of the restriction zone (ZR) of previous outbreaks reported in the area, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA).

The suspicion of the disease in both cases was derived from the detection of an abnormal increase in mortality that began on March 3 and 4. The samples taken by the OVS of the Junta de Andalucía were sent to the Central Veterinary Laboratory of Algete, as the National Reference Laboratory for Avian Influenza in Spain, where it has been confirmed that in both cases it is a strain of HPAI subtype H5N1...

The avian flu virus jumps from the County to the Coast: new outbreaks in La Palma and Cartaya

The avian flu virus jumps from the County to the Coast: new outbreaks in La Palma and Cartaya
cattle ranch
Huelva
March 18, 2022

The H5N1 avian influenza virus has just jumped another security belt in the province of Huelva when a new outbreak was detected, very crippled in the outbreaks of the County, which had forced him to sacrifice tens of thousands of chickens and birds. The new infection has been confirmed by the reference laboratories in Cartaya.

Until now, 6 hotspots had been accounted for (1 broilers in Villarrasa , 4 hotspots in pavos de fattening in Niebla and 1 hotspot pavos de fattening in Trigueros ). The triguereño was the first case that jumped out of the county-Aljarafe belt, which was the most affected area until the moment in Andalucía.

In addition to the previous shoots, there are 6 more outbreaks in La Palma del Condado : 1 broilers and 4 in pavos de fattening; Cartaya : 1 en pavos de fattening. Make sure that the disease continues to extend its radio of action.

This has been done to summarize the detection of the avian illness , until now it has not affected people, in wild birds tracked in Villarrasa (4 cigüeñas), Almonte (1 cigüeña) and Bollullos Par del Condado (1 ratonero busardo).

There are currently 30 outbreaks of IAAP H5N1 in poultry in Spain in 2022. 53% of the outbreaks have been detected in farms of fattening chickens, 16% in poultry and another 13% in breeding hens.

The epidemiological surveys carried out in the outbreaks indicate that the most probable causes of virus introduction into these farms have been possible contact with infected wild birds and geographic proximity or indirect contacts with previous outbreaks ( mainly personal or transport vehicles ).

If there is no evidence that the H5N1 subtype that has been affecting Europe over the last few months has a significant zoonotic capacity, that is to say, its ability to transmit itself to people is very reduced, it is recommended to minimize unnecessary contact with birds who show clinical symptoms or if they have died in the field. In any case, this virus cannot be transmitted in human beings through cooked poultry meat , eggs or processed products derived from them...

So far, five Zoo animals have died and the center has been closed to the public.

Last Friday, the City Council agreed to close the Córdoba Zoo Conservation Center for 15 days as a measure to prevent the transmission and spread of the Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) by visiting specimens that could eventually act as potential transmission vehicles of the virus. virus, as well as eliminate the possibility that any user may become infected with the bird flu virus, as reported in a press release.

It was then known that the results of the reference laboratory, dependent on the General Directorate of Agricultural Production Health, which is located in Algete and belongs to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA), had determined the presence of the virus.

Three rheas (Rhea americana) and two swans (Cygnus olor) died on May 26 and 27 with symptoms and injuries consistent with Avian Flu or Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). In three of these animals tested for Avian Influenza antigen, positive results were given. In addition to these animals mentioned, on May 27th a bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) died, and it has now been confirmed that it also had bird flu.

As of May 27 and with a well-founded suspicion of Avian Flu, the corresponding health authorities (Comarcal Agrarian Office) were informed of the pathological process that is taking place in the Conservation Center and the existing biosafety measures are implemented, both for the animals in the collection, as well as for the working staff and visiting public.

Albas has indicated that "we continue to work hand in hand with Health" on this matter to "continue carrying out the necessary measures", among which he has cited "the necessary tests" to the Zoo staff.

Huelva suffers the second outbreak of bird flu in 9 days and both are located in the Sierra de Aracena
20 August, 2022

It is the second outbreak of avian flu that is declared in the province of Huelva with a narrow margin of 9 days. Two farms located in the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche have had to sacrifice the birds they had, something that is part of the protocol established by the health authority to stop the spread.

The first of this month of August was at a turkey farm in La Nava, where 15,000 animals were slaughtered and now it has been declared, very close, in Aracena. This time it has been in a chicken farm, a total of 37,000 animals distributed in two ships that have had to be immediately slaughtered.

The National Reference Laboratory for Avian Influenza in Spain, the Central Laboratory of Algete, has confirmed this new outbreak of avian influenza in the province of Huelva. This is the 30th focus of this disease in Andalusia, the eighth in the province of Huelva; 22 have been registered in the one in Seville, although this one, together with the one notified ten days ago, occurred after five months without registering any focus.

The suspicion of the disease in the Aracena farm was derived from the detection and communication on August 16 of a picture with an abnormal increase in mortality in one of the farm's buildings. The samples taken during the official inspection visit carried out by the Official Veterinary Services (OVS) of the Junta de Andalucía were sent to the Central Veterinary Laboratory of Algete, where it has been confirmed that it is a strain of HPAI subtype H5N1, continuing with all the established protocol.

The veterinary services of the Andalusian administration proceeded immediately to the immobilization of the affected farm, carrying out an epidemiological survey in order to find out the possible origin of the outbreak and farms at risk due to the movement of people and vehicles, the slaughter of the entire census of the exploitation and elimination of feed and other materials that could carry the virus.
Protocol

A restriction zone has been established around the outbreak with a 3 km protection zone and a 3-10 km surveillance zone. In the restriction zone there are 4 chicken and turkey farms for fattening within a radius of 3 km (protection zone) and 8 chicken and turkey farms for fattening within a radius of 10 km (surveillance zone).

As in the previous outbreaks detected in the provinces of Seville and Huelva, the analysis carried out has shown that it is avian influenza of the H5N1 subtype, which is the one that has been affecting Europe in recent months. It should be remembered that this has not shown zoonotic capacity, however, exposure to birds that show any symptoms compatible with the disease or that are found dead in the field is not recommended. The virus cannot be transmitted to humans through cooked poultry, eggs, or processed products derived from them...
