« on: June 05, 2024, 03:24:31 pm »
SUMMARY - The chickens at a poultry farm in the state of Victoria (country: Australia) has been infected with HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza), bringing the total of poultry farms infected in Australia with HPAI so far to four. To date, the strain of HPAI that has infected humans, birds and cattle in the United States (H5N1) is not the same strain that has infected farms in Australia (H7N3 & H7N9).

NOTE - The subject title has been changed to reflect the evolving nature of the thread. The subject title was originally "Australia - Poultry farm infected by HPAI - Four farms now infected in total."
