dead to the relevant court.A.The.K.. During the laboratory investigation was excluded in the first phase, the presence of the subtype H5N1, which, according to the commission decision 2006/563/EC would mean the need to take
measures in poultry (zoning, restrictions on movements, etc.), while the next period will determine precisely the type (Nx) of the neuraminidase and the pathogenicity of the strain. In accordance, however, with the hitherto επιζωοτιολογικά data from the numerous cases in the whole of Europe, the assessment is that it is the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) subtype Η5Î8. In addition, you know that in Bulgaria the past couple of days have been confirmed cases of this subtype in five poultry farms, pet, and systemic, one of which is located near Plovdiv.
Following the finding in our country and the emergence of the disease in the Balkans (Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia), veterinary services are invited to be on increased alert and to take immediately the necessary actions, as these are reflected in the nos. 3678/128599/17-11-2016 document of our service, in order to strengthen the supervision system and to avoid transmission of the virus from wild birds to poultry or other captive birds.
Particular attention should be given to the faithful implementation of biosecurity measures and mandatory compliance with the provisions of number. 258971/26-8-2008 (B 1785) to a Decision of the Minister of Rural Development and Food, “Adoption of farm biosecurity measures for avian influenza”. It is noted that in the above Ministerial decision provided for,
among other things, the prohibition of keeping of poultry (backyard, free-range, organic, etc.):
(a) in open spaces (courtyards, courtyards, fields etc.) mixed livestock in areas of the country are less than 2 km from wetlands, rivers, lakes, and each kind of drainage basins.
(b) in non-enclosed areas in the whole territory of the country
The poultry must be kept exclusively indoors, the openings of which must be covered by suitable protective caps that would preclude contact with wild birds.
However, until you assess the overall situation and the need for an extension of the relevant prohibition, it is recommended that all farmed poultry which are located at distances
greater than 2 km from wetlands, rivers, lochs and any ponds to be kept in enclosed spaces, in accordance with the above. The recommendation in question relates to other captive birds kept in parks, zoos and similar facilities.
not with the urgency of the situation, it is imperative that the information for the public, breeders and operators by any appropriate way, in order to understand the risk and proceed, on the one hand, the application of all mandatory measures and, on the other hand, the adoption of any recommendations by the competent veterinary services.
Finally, please note that up until today there has been contamination of human by subtype Η5Î8 of influenza A despite the large number of individuals who have been exposed to him in the management of outbreaks in birds.
