niman Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 On June 2, birds from a small flock in Allen County tested presumptive-positive for the H5 avian influenza virus at the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (ADDL). Samples were forwarded to the national USDA laboratory for confirmatory testing, with results expected within the next few days. The small flock (Allen2) was reported to the Healthy Birds Hotline by the owner, who noticed unexplained death of eight birds in less than 24 hours. While Allen2 is comprised of approximately 100 birds of mixed species maintained at a residence, the flock is classified as a commercial poultry operation based upon the definition set forth by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH; formerly OIE). The owner supplies table eggs to some households. A 10-km control area must be established around the flock and the associated protocols must be followed, including quarantines and permitted movements.
