EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS
On 25 November 2022, the National Institute of Integral Agricultural Health (INSAI) received a report of mortality observed in pelicans in mangroves in Puerto Píritu lagoon, in the area of the ecological recreational park "Luis Cabeza Martínez", north of Anzoátegui State. Four birds were necropsied and tissue samples were taken and sent to the National Institute of Hygiene Rafael Rangel (INHRR), where the first laboratory diagnosis was obtained on 27 November, and the H5 subtype was identified. Subsequently, the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC) confirmed the diagnosis and completed the characterization of the virus as H5N1 on 29 November 2022. There are no commercial poultry farms in the area. Active epidemiological surveillance is being maintained in backyard poultry and passive surveillance in wild birds.
