FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THURSDAY, DEC. 8, 2022 CONTACT: Heather Overton, assistant director NCDA&CS Public Affairs Division 919-707-3006; [email protected] Backyard flock in Carteret County tests positive for HPAI RALEIGH – A backyard flock in Carteret County has tested positive for High Path Avian Influenza (HPAI). The positive sample was identified by the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Veterinary Diagnostic Lab in Raleigh. This is the first confirmed positive in Carteret County. In late spring and early summer, HPAI was found at nine poultry farms in Johnston and Wayne counties, and recently HPAI was found in a single backyard flock in Wake County, a single backyard flock in Durham County, and two flocks in Union County. “We have had evidence that the HPAI virus has remained in our resident wild bird population and in migratory waterfowl, so reports of backyard positive flocks are unfortunate, but not surprising,” said State Veterinarian Mike Martin. The flock will be depopulated to prevent spread of the disease. Other flocks located near the infected flock will be contacted as part of ongoing surveillance. This type of HPAI virus is considered a low risk to people according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, but is highly contagious to other birds, including commercial and backyard flocks of poultry. The virus is also not considered a food safety threat and infected birds do not enter the food supply. “The threat of high path avian influenza is nationwide and likely will remain through the fall and winter,” Martin said. “Commercial operations and backyard flock owners should continue to follow strict biosecurity measures including keeping birds enclosed without access to wild birds or other domestic flocks when possible.” If your birds are sick or dying, report it right away to your local veterinarian, the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Veterinary Division at 919-707-3250, or the N.C. Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory System at 919-733-3986. The warning signs of HPAI include: • Reduced energy, decreased appetite, and/or decreased activity • Lower egg production and/or soft-shelled or misshapen eggs • Swelling of the head, eyelids, comb and wattles • Purple discoloration of the wattles, comb and legs • Difficulty breathing, runny nares (nose), and/or sneezing • Twisting of the head and neck, stumbling, falling down, tremors and/or circling • Greenish diarrhea More information on biosecurity and the signs of HPAI can be found at www.ncagr.gov/avianflu. If you have questions about migratory birds, hunting, or wild waterfowl found dead on your property, visit the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s website at www.ncwildlife.org. -hso,2- NCDA&CS Public Affairs Division, Andrea Ashby, Director Mailing Address:1001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-1001 Physical Address: 2 West Edenton Street, Raleigh NC 27601 Phone: (919) 707-3001; FAX: (919) 733-5047

Minister Valenzuela confirms the first case of H5N1 avian influenza in a wild bird found in Arica Submitted by jeanete.franco on Wed, 12/07/2022 - 19:09 After the increase in active surveillance, the laboratories of the Agricultural and Livestock Service confirmed a positive case of high pathogenicity. Collaborations with other state agencies and the private sector were strengthened to strengthen biosafety measures. The Minister of Agriculture, Esteban Valenzuela, together with the national director(s) of the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), Andrea Collao, confirmed today the presence of a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza in a wild bird found in Arica. This corresponds to the H5N1 variant, which has already been detected in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. The authority revealed that, given the complex scenario that this disease had been showing on the continent, in Chile the SAG had already been working between the public and private sectors to mitigate possible negative effects on the productive matrix of the poultry industry, which up to the minute is not affected by this finding. "We want to inform you that today the Agricultural and Livestock Service, deployed on alert throughout the entire time to determine if avian influenza has arrived in Chile, has definitively detected that it arrived in a wild bird that was discovered in poor condition in the region. of Arica and Parinacota”, said the Secretary of State. The SAG for several months had been reinforcing surveillance and activating its alert systems throughout the country since positive cases of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) were detected on the continent. This, as Valenzuela explained, is part of a global process. "In North America, Europe and the countries of the Latin American coast as a result of the migrations of wild birds, an increase in cases of avian influenza has been detected from the north and south, as we have verified in the Arica region and Parinacota (…) we have worked with the poultry and egg industry, with the Ministry of the Interior, with the Ministry of Health and various public departments to provide maximum vigilance and support in this situation”. The Agricultural and Livestock Service is working with all the actors in the poultry production chain to increase biosecurity measures, in a public-private partnership. “We are prepared, rest assured. This does not affect the consumption of poultry or their export. The same goes for egg production in our country. We ask each of the places supervised by the SAG for joint responsibility and cooperation in this process," Valenzuela said. Finally, the Secretary of State made a call to the public that “in the event of any observation of sick birds, they must communicate it to the available channels of the SAG. We ask you not to handle sick or dead birds in any case." The contact channels to make these complaints are the following: 2 2345 1100 / +56 9 690 89 780 or write to [email protected] . https://www.sag.gob.cl/noticias/ministro-valenzuela-confirma-primer-caso-de-influenza-aviar-h5n1-en-ave-silvestre-encontrada-en-arica
