° On August 8, clinical signs were identified during postmortem inspection by the resident veterinarian, who immediately notified the Local Animal Disease Inspection Authority of Taipei City.
° On the same day, diagnostic samples were collected and sent to the National Reference Laboratory; concurrently, the other 25 native chickens from the same source were depopulated and placed in frozen storage.
° Following official confirmation of the positive case on August 10, the frozen carcasses were destroyed on August 11, with cleaning and disinfection completed thoroughly.
