Croatia has reported an outbreak of the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird
flu virus on a poultry farm, the World Organisation for Animal Health
(WOAH) said on Tuesday [21 Nov 2023].
The outbreak infected 5 poultry among a flock of 19 600 on a farm in
the county of Brodsko-Posavska near the Bosnian border, the
Paris-based WOAH said in a report, citing Croatian authorities.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, has
spread around the globe in the past years, leading to the culling of
hundreds of millions of poultry.
