Following surveillance carried out by the General Directorate of Livestock Services, on February 14, the Park Ranger Service of the National System of Protected Areas (SNAP) notified dead black-necked swans in Laguna Garzón, between the Departments of Maldonado and Rocha. The animals were sampled and buried on site. Samples were sent to the official laboratory. Detection of influenza A virus matrix protein gene was performed by real-time RT-PCR as part of screening and two samples were positive. Then, H5 gene detection was performed by real-time RT-PCR and the results were positive. In the area where the event occurred, active surveillance will be carried out within a 5 km radius. A health emergency was declared throughout the country, restricting movements within the national territory of backyard poultry and birds that are not controlled through the poultry monitoring system. Fairs, auctions, exhibitions and poultry-related events were suspended.
