Brazil declares end of avian influenza outbreak to WOAH
After 28 days without new cases, Brazil regains sanitary status.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) officially informed the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) on June 18 about the end of the sanitary downtime as foreseen in international protocols. With this notification, the country is declared free of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
The sanitary downtime started on May 22, shortly after the completion of the disinfection of the farm located in Montenegro (RS), where, on May 16, the first and only outbreak of the disease in the country was recorded on a commercial farm.
With the end of this period and without new occurrences, Brazil complied with all the necessary sanitary actions, regaining its disease-free status.
The WOAH notification process is carried out technically and transparently by the Secretariat of Agricultural Defense of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA). All stages were recorded, from the notification of the outbreak and the beginning of the sanitary downtime to the self-declaration of the end of the occurrence, which constitutes a solid technical basis that will support the decisions of the sanitary authorities of other countries.
MAPA is also directly notifying countries that have imposed temporary restrictions on Brazilian exports of poultry products, with the objective of restoring international trade as quickly as possible.
