During the week of November 23 – 29, the United States Department of Agriculture\u2019s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) confirmed seven additional cases of virulent Newcastle disease (vND) in backyard exhibition chickens in Los Angeles and Riverside counties, California.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u00a0Affected flocks are quickly euthanized. These actions will help us prevent additional disease spread and eradicate the disease more quickly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
USDA is announcing confirmed vND cases weekly. Cases are still being tested and confirmed as they are identified. If there is a finding in a new state or a different segment of industry, USDA will issue an announcement for that case immediately. A complete list of confirmed cases are available on our website at\u00a0www.aphis.usda.gov\/animalhealth\/vnd<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Virulent Newcastle disease has not been found in commercial poultry in the United States since 2003.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0No human cases of Newcastle disease have ever occurred from eating poultry products. Properly cooked poultry products are safe to eat. In very rare instances, people working directly with sick birds can become infected. Symptoms are usually very mild and limited to conjunctivitis.\u00a0 Infection is easily prevented by using standard personal protective equipment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Samples from the flocks were tested at the California Animal Health & Food Safety Laboratory System. The APHIS National Veterinary Services Laboratories in Ames, Iowa, confirms all findings. APHIS is working closely with the California Department of Food and Agriculture to respond to these findings and to conduct an epidemiological investigation.\u00a0 Federal and State partners are also conducting additional surveillance and testing in the area.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In addition to practicing good biosecurity, all bird owners should report sick birds or unusual bird deaths to State\/Federal officials, either through their state veterinarian or USDA\u2019s toll-free number at 1-866-536-7593.\u00a0 Additional information on biosecurity for backyard flocks can be found at Biosecurity for Birds.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
