niman Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) On December 27, the ICF (Instituto de Conservación y Desarrollo Forestal, Áreas Protegidas y Vida Silvestre) was notified of the presence of sick and dead Pelecanus occidentalis on the beach of the municipality of La Ceiba, in the department of Atlántida. Samples were collected and sent to the national reference laboratory, IHIMV (Instituto Hondureño de Investigaciones Médico Veterinarias). The results were positive for influenza A on December 28, 2022. The samples were sent to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) where, on January 3, 2023, a diagnosis of highly pathogenic influenza A subtype H5N1 was confirmed. Therefore, a focal area, containment area and surveillance area have been established. Pelican carcasses have been buried. Likewise, serological sampling has been conducted in areas of greatest risk of exposure of backyard poultry in both the containment and surveillance zones, a total of 432 samples have been collected and the results have been negative. To date, only wild birds are affected, specifically Pelecanus occidentalis. https://wahis.woah.org/#/in-review/4824?fromPage=event-dashboard-url Edited January 14, 2023 by niman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
