"How to guard against potential spread of virus"
"Avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, has spread across the globe this year and led to culls of birds on farms across Ireland in recent weeks."
"The H5N1 strain of the virus has closed Fota Wildlife Park until at least the end of the month and forced the Department of Agriculture to issue a housing order for poultry after birds in multiple farms tested positive for the strain."
Avian influenza has spread globally this year, triggering culls of birds on Irish farms in recent weeks. The H5N1 strain has caused the temporary closure of Fota Wildlife Park until at least the end of the month. The Department of Agriculture has issued a housing order for poultry after birds on multiple farms tested positive for H5N1. Authorities are using culling, containment and housing measures to reduce onward transmission risk among domestic and captive birds. Ongoing surveillance and testing of flocks is being conducted to identify infected premises and limit further spread within and beyond the region.
