EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS A H7N6 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus has been confirmed on a free-range commercial layer chicken farm in East Otago in the South Island of New Zealand. The sequencing of the virus is similar to a low pathogenicity avian influenza strain previously identified in New Zealand wild birds. Movement controls have been implemented. A 10 km buffer zone has been established around the infected property with the intention of setting up a containment zone. Epidemiological investigation, tracing, and initiating depopulation of the affected population is underway.

New Zealand's first report to the World Organisation for Animal Health (@WOAH) on the #H7N6 outbreak is now online.
