EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS
Note: previously published precise location data of the outbreaks was changed to approximate in follow-up report 3 to insure privacy of the farmers. Follow-up report on 24.8.2023: Several HPAI H5N1 outbreaks on fur farms raising arctic foxes, silver foxes, American minks and raccoon dogs have been detected. Wild birds are currently considered the most likely source of the infection, based on epidemiological investigations and sequencing of the viruses. The competent authority has imposed restrictive orders on infected fur animal farms. All minks from the infected farms are culled. Other fur animals from infected farms are culled based on the decisions that are made on a case-by-case basis and do not necessarily apply to all animals on the farm. In addition, samples are taken from infected farms to monitor the course of the epidemic. If the virus is detected, the culling will continue. Veterinary authorities are working in tight collaboration with the public health authority. Improved biosecurity measures and use of personal protection equipment on fur farms are encouraged. Follow-up report on 5.10.2023: Starting from 11 September 2023, a new culling policy has been adopted and all animals on HPAI virus-positive farms, including foxes and common raccoon dogs, are culled.
Wahis raportoi 25.4.2024 Suomessa kasseerattujen turkisfarmieläinten määräksi 457 232.
