Avian influenza outbreaks and risks in Poland

Overview

In early October, the Governor of Małopolska established restriction zones in the Podhale region, specifically affecting Zakopane, Murzasichle, and surrounding municipalities in Tatra and Nowy Targ counties, following a suspected avian influenza outbreak. These measures included prohibiting the movement of birds between farms and requiring poultry to be kept in closed facilities within designated ‘infected’ and ‘danger’ zones.

By late October, veterinary officials in the Środa Śląska and Zgierz districts issued warnings regarding an increased risk of avian influenza and Newcastle disease. Authorities advised poultry farmers to implement strict biosecurity protocols, such as isolating poultry from wild birds and using disinfection mats, to mitigate the risk of these highly infectious diseases.
