H5N1 avian influenza outbreak in Yucatán, Mexico

Overview

The Mexican Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development (Sader) confirmed a highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza outbreak at a commercial egg production farm in Umán, Yucatán. The detection followed reports of unusual mortality among a population of 225,860 laying hens.

In response, the National Service for Agrifood Health, Safety and Quality (Senasica) implemented international sanitary protocols, including a definitive quarantine of the production unit, a 10-kilometer risk perimeter, and the total depopulation and sanitary disposal of the birds and contaminated materials.

Authorities subsequently declared an epizootic alarm for the Yucatán Peninsula. While officials stated the outbreak represents only 0.09 percent of the national poultry inventory and is not expected to impact national egg availability, they have increased epidemiological surveillance and biosecurity controls across the region. Investigations continue to determine the source of the infection, with specialists inspecting local water bodies due to the presence of migratory birds.
