(The National Pulse)—A case of bird flu has been identified in a commercial poultry operation for the first time since the onset of the current outbreak in 2022.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service confirmed the presence of the H5N1 strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Elbert County. This marks the fifth incident involving the virus in Georgia’s poultry flocks but is the first occurrence within a commercial setting.
Earlier reports from the GDA last week indicated the virus’s presence in a flock of 13 chickens and ducks located in Clayton County. In response to these developments, the state has halted all poultry-related events, including exhibitions, shows, swaps, meets, and sales, until further notice, according to state officials.
The H5N1 virus has been a concern since 2003, with over 400 fatalities linked to the virus worldwide. In the United States, the virus was recently associated with the first reported death of a Louisiana resident.
