DUBOIS4:  Laboratory testing of a commercial flock of turkeys in Dubois County has identified H5 avian influenza virus. This is considered a presumptive-positive case, and samples are being verified at the USDA National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) in Iowa. This is the sixth farm (known as Dubois4) in Indiana to be diagnosed with avian influenza. Pending verification test results should indicate if the virus is the same as the index farm diagnosed on Feb. 9 and if the virus is highly pathogenic.   

Depopulation efforts are underway on the premises, which houses 16,500 birds.    

The location of Dubois4 is approximately 6/10 of a mile south from the Dubois3 site; therefore, a sixth 10-km circle control area has been established. All commercial poultry within this control area will be quarantined and tested regularly for the duration of this event (i.e., until the control area is lifted).

Depopulation efforts are underway on the premises, which houses 16,500 birds.
