° Following a suspicion regarding deaths among birds of various species, the Official Veterinary Service (SVO) launched an epidemiological investigation in a backyard in the Department of Colonia.
° In the backyard there were birds of different species: hens (Gallus gallus domesticus), geese (Anser anser), and guinea fowl (Numida meleagris), which were raised outdoors and had contact with migratory wild birds.
° Rapid tests came back negative, but samples were sent to the official laboratory to confirm the results, and they tested positive via PCR.
° The SVO is currently conducting an epidemiological investigation in the zone.
° On September 4, 5, and 6, the SVO conducted the epidemiological investigation in the area.
° Activities included coordination, geographic delineation of the outbreak, establishment of a 5-kilometer operational radius, stamping out, sampling of birds, epidemiological investigation, and classification of establishments according to their risk level.
° On September 5 and 6, 34 establishments within a 5-kilometer radius of the outbreak were inspected and identified.
° No cases with compatible signs or mortality were reported within these establishments, nor were any commercial poultry farms listed in this area.
