USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza in a commercial poultry flock in northern Delaware.
Samples were confirmed at the APHIS National Veterinary Services Laboratories in Ames, Iowa.
State officials quarantined the affected premises, and birds on the property will be depopulated to prevent the spread of the disease.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza has been detected in Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Virginia, Maine, and New York.
