Via Treyfish and Makoto on FluTrackers, we’ve multiple Japanese language media reports this morning regarding a poultry farm – this time in Kagoshima prefecture (near Izumi City where over-wintering Hooded Cranes died from the H5N1 virus last December) being tested for bird flu.
For earlier reports from this region, see Japan: 5 Hooded Cranes Test Positive For H5N1 and Japan’s Bird Flu Dilemma.
Rapid tests, and the number of recent poultry deaths on this medium sized farm, suggest bird flu. But the results of full viral testing won’t be known for several hours.
Most recent suspected outbreak near Izumi City.
Kagoshima prefecture, in addition to hosting a major wild bird preserve, is a major poultry producing region. An outbreak here could have a serious impact on the industry.
If a positive result is returned, this will make the 3rd poultry farm in a week, and the 4th poultry farm in three months, to test positive for the virus in Japan.
In the meantime, you can follow preliminary reports as they come in on this FluTrackers Thread.
