Late in the afternoon of Thursday, June 18 of this year, officials from the National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC) of the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE) found a blue-footed booby at Espadilla Beach in Manuel Antonio, Quepos city. The bird was transferred to the quarantine area of an animal rescue center in Quepos, where it was euthanized on Friday, June 19, and a necropsy was performed to collect samples. These samples were transported by official SENASA personnel to the National Laboratory of Veterinary Services (LANASEVE) on Monday, June 22, and a positive result for highly pathogenic avian influenza type A, H5, was obtained on June 24. As complementary measures, public-private coordination strategies have been established to strengthen epidemiological surveillance, promote the reporting of suspected cases nationwide, and reinforce biosecurity measures. To date, there is no evidence of disease transmission to domestic birds.
