Bird flu/Ministry of Agriculture: There are 4 outbreaks, we have taken measures

The Ministry of Agriculture has announced that the bird flu situation is under constant control and monitoring. 

The Ministry clarifies that there are 4 foci in which bird flu has been found, in Paskuqan, Zall Herr, Nartë and Karavastasa Lagoon. 

"The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, in the framework of transparency and communication with the public, informs citizens that the situation for Avian Influenza in the country is under constant control and monitoring, through the structures in the center and those in the region.

The Avian Influenza disease, also confirmed in our country, is a disease of special importance and worldwide spread.

According to continuous communications on the official website of the World Organization of Animal Health, the disease is currently present in many other countries, which implement the same control and surveillance programs as our country.

This infection can only be prevented through the implementation of biosecurity measures aimed at reducing the level of exposure to the virus which is spread by air and those of contact with carrier, wild and migratory birds to farms and family yards that breed poultry. .

Since the confirmation of the first case, the National Crisis Center for Avian Influenza is in force and meets on a daily basis with representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Tourism and the Environment and the Institute of Public Health for coordination of actions and receiving information on the measures taken by the Regional Crisis Center, which has identified the Administrative Units of the protection (3 km) and surveillance areas (10 km) for the three foci in Zall Herr, Nartë, Paskuqan and the one confirmed yesterday on 09.01.2025 in Karavastasa Lagoon.

From the first confirmed case, the Regional Veterinary Service has taken all the necessary measures to monitor the health situation of soft birds, to isolate the infection in order to prevent the spread, continuing the communication with the Agency of Protected Areas for bilateral monitoring of wild fauna in protected lagoon and water areas.

It has cooperated with the Local Health Care Units for monitoring and testing the contact persons, tests which have so far been negative, with the Local Self-Government Units in the affected Municipalities, as well as with the State Police for the implementation of the Orders of the Minister of Agriculture in force for taking measures to prevent the spread of the Avian Influenza virus by prohibiting the movement of live birds outside farms, occurred in the Administrative Units of the protection and surveillance areas.

Given that two of the cases in the current positive outbreaks are present in wild bird species, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development invites farmers and citizens to increase vigilance and cooperate with the aim of not only reporting in time any suspicion through rapid communication on the green number 08003366, but also the rigorous implementation of biosecurity measures and limiting the exposure of birds in open environments, to reduce the level of risk of contact with wild and migratory birds", announces the Ministry of Agriculture./ CNA
