First Fall 2023 HPAI Commercial Case
On October 4th USDA-APHIS confirmed a diagnosis of HPAI (presumably H5 with a Eurasian genome) on a turkey grow-out farm holding 47,000 birds in Jerauld County SD. During September 32 cases were diagnosed among three migratory and one domestic wild bird species in six states, (AK; CT; VA; IA; PA; MS) covering three flyways. The implications are self-evident.
