Two AI cases reported in Southern Bulgaria
The two AI cases were confirmed by lab results, while an investigation is currently underway to determine the origin of the outbreaks.
The authorities announced also that all the birds on those two farms will be culled and that measures are taken to prevent the spreading of the disease. A three-kilometer protection zone and a surveillance zone of 10 kilometers have already been set up, which prohibit the marketing and transport of domestic, wild birds and eggs in the region.
So far, there are no reported cases of avian influenza virus transmission from birds to humans, but the discovery of such outbreaks has forced slaughtering campaigns and farmers have been ordered to keep the birds closed.
The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has asked all of its 180 Member States to increase biosecurity measures on farms, markets and in poultry trade to limit the spread of the disease.
