niman Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 The spread of H5N8 to Israel signals an outbreak exceeding the 2005/2006 H5N1 expansion. In the fall of 2005 H5N1 was largely limited to Romania, Ukraine, and Turkey. Spread throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa and South Asia was not reported until 2006. The current H5N8 outbreak has spread throughout Europe and India and now has spread into Israel. Israel reports a case of avian influenza H5N8 in heavy breeders, in Hefzi-Ba (North part of Israel).The flock is 21 weeks old. 40,000 chickens would now be culled. http://www.poultrymed.com/Poultrymed/Templates/showpage.asp?DBID=1&LNGID=1&TMID=178&FID=1868&PID=0&IID=43013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niman Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Israel: H5N8 in a broiler breeding flock 13 November, 2016 Israel reports a case of avian influenza H5N8 in heavy breeders, in Hefzi-Ba (North part of Israel). The flock is 21 weeks old. 40,000 chickens would now be culled. Two months ago FAO issued a warning that H5N8 avian influenza virus had been detected in wild birds in Tyva Republic in southern Russia and would likely spread in a south-westerly direction with the autumn migration of waterbirds. These recent detections of H5N8 in wild birds and domestic birds are additional evidence of the roleof wild birds in the long-distance movement of H5 HPAI viruses from one stopover location to another along their migration routes.
