Highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI, is spread by wild birds. It poses no threat to humans so far.
The site will be quarantined and poultry farmers and bird owners are asked to be mindful — limit exposure of domestic flocks to wild birds, avoid contact with other poultry, minimize the number of people who visit the birds and report suspected cases to the ag department at 609-671-6400. Signs of infection in birds include respiratory issues, swelling around the eyes, breathing through the mouth, lethargy and death.
Parts of Warren County were on alert after the bird flu was confirmed in neighboring areas of Pennsylvania.involving 90 birds was Pennsylvania’s first in a domestic flock. Another was reported Oct. 5 in Monroe County, where 40 birds were affected. Most of Pennsylvania’s cases have been farther west in Berks and Lancaster counties, affecting more than 2 million birds primarily in commercial flocks.
While this strain of bird flu is not currently a threat to humans, monitoring is in place in part to make sure it doesn’t mutate into something that people can spread among each other. “The concern — why it’s being monitored — is to make sure that we’re not seeing human infections,” Dr. David Cennimo, an infectious disease expert at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, told NJ Advance Media in September.
