#Iceland - #Influenza A #H5N5 viruses of high pathogenicity (Inf. with) ({household #cats}) (2017-) - Immediate notification [FINAL]

Three cats (one adult female and two 10 week old kittens) from the same household died on December 20., 21. and 22. after they had been ill for only a few days. The main clinical signs were lethargy, anorexia, cramps and stiffness. Other kittens from the same litter had been rehomed before those three got sick and they have not shown any symptoms. The most probable source of infection is wild birds. HPAI H5N5 have been diagnosed in a few wild birds in Iceland since September last year.
