HPAI H7N3 is spreading in Australia

7 June, 2024

There is a fifth poultry farm close to Melbourne that has an HPAI H7 infection. The farm is surrounded by three additional locations that are in a limited area and have already seen the recent outbreak of the H7N3 virus. Since the outbreaks started last month, almost half a million egg-laying chickens have either been killed or will be slaughtered.
