niman Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) in Ames, Iowa has confirmed the detection of avian influenza in three nestling neotropical cormorants found by Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) personnel responding to a report of dead birds in Eldorado Park in Scottsdale. Surveillance, sampling and testing efforts were conducted through AZGFD and the US Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center (NWHC) before being sent to NVSL, which confirmed the cases on June 7. These are the first detections of avian influenza H5N1 in wild birds in Arizona. At this point there have been no confirmed cases in domestic poultry in the state. https://www.azgfd.com/avian-influenza-confirmed-in-3-nestling-cormorants-in-scottsdale-park/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
