New analysis indicates high lethargy of avian flu in BC Osterich Farm: CFIA VET
An affidavit by Canada’s Deputy Chief Veterinarian says the new analysis has confirmed the ostrich in a field in British Columbia, who is fighting a kule order for its herd, a unique and more deadly stress of the avian influenza virus.
Kathy Furnace’s affidavit with Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says further investigation of samples taken from birds has revealed that the virus’s “novel revaluation” has “increased the pathology” of stress.
It states that Canada’s National Microbiology was one of the “most viral” tested at the laboratory and even low doses killed mice within a few days.
But Furnace says that the CFIA does not know how much it is likely that Edgude, BC, ostrich in the field have been infected, or will become infected.
The document was filed with the Federal Court of Appeal on Tuesday, where the agency is arguing There is another stay delayed Of about 400 ostrich.
The owners of the farm say the herd is healthy and acquired “herd immunity” as the CFIA ordered a kule on 31 December, between a outbreak that went to kill 69 birds.
Katie Pasitney, the spokesman of the farm and the daughter of its co-owner, on Wednesday, says in a Facebook post that they are giving “actively answers” to the filing by the Department of Justice.
Furnace filing follows the decision of the appeal of a federal court, providing an interim migration to the farm and delays the ax as it wants a hearing in the Supreme Court of Canada.
TV Personality and US Health Officer Dr. A group of supporters, including Mehmat Oz, is fighting to save the ostrich hundreds of BC, facing a bird order, claiming that they have a ‘huge scientific value’ after avoiding the outbreak of bird flu. For the national, Ashley Fraser of CBC asked experts to break claims and risks.
She says that the new information “enhances potential animal and human health risks associated with the ongoing delay” and the “refinement” of exposed areas.
Furnace says that the federal agency shows a large amount of avian influenza in a review of scientific literature and information from a veterinary epidemic with the show and can continue shedding without showing the symptoms of infection.
“, This infected ostrich can still shed the virus through its urine, stool and respiratory secretion despite still appearing healthy. It is referred to as ‘silent shedding’, which is also seen in some other birds, such as ducks.”
After losing an appeal to stop a total order, the owners of a BC ostrich field vowed to fight and are preparing to take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada. Kalam was ordered last December after the outbreak of avian flu.
Universal ostrich fields have repeatedly asked whether the birds are infected with H5N1 or not.
Furnace says that the possibilities that are infected or infected will “unknown by CFIA, due to gaps in available science (avian influenza) how long immunity can be in a individual ostrich for the virus,” as well as how many ostrich during the original outbreak were infected.
The affidavit states that the requirements for a kulla were met on December 31, 2024, “and the policy does not provide for additional testing.”
In any case, furnace says, the test can only provide additional evidence of current risk. This in the document states that it will not address the unknown risks of reinforcement or the risks associated with the “contaminated environment”.
Furnace says that the risk evaluation of CFIA is also informed by the “disability or reluctance” of the farm owners to follow the quarantine rules.
Avian inflonza viruses can survive at low temperatures in fresh water for months or years and have been documented to survive on fertilizer and feathers in low temperatures of about four to six months, saying the affidavit.
“Therefore, a source of infection or reinforcement with (avian influenza) can remain in the environment for a long time when individual infected birds recover,” it says.
Universal ostrich fields have maintained that birds should be spared as they are scientifically valuable and no threat.
Its case has attracted attention Top American health officer Robert f. Kennedy Junior and Dr. Like Mehmat Oz, which are pushing the Canadian government so that it allows birds to take.
The farm has lost in the federal court and the Federal Court of Appeal, but last Thursday, its lawyer demanded another migration on the pen order, filing a series of documents and chased the hearing in the Canadian Supreme Court as a farm.
In a judgment on 6 September, the appeal court allows interim stay until the stay motion is not fixed on the basis of full record. “
The interim stay motion notes CFIA was still allowed to take preparations to kill birds.
