**Bird Flu Outbreak Forces Halt in Egg Production at Major US Facility** **April 3, 2024** The United States' largest fresh egg producer, WEB, has temporarily suspended production at its Texas plant due to an outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A H5N1 virus in animals. The current outbreak, which began in early 2022, has prompted officials to slaughter nearly 82 million poultry in 48 states. WEB is the latest victim of the devastating virus, which has been affecting bird populations worldwide for decades. WEB stated on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, that the temporary production halt will not significantly impact the availability of eggs in the US due to the company's diverse production network. However, consumers may experience slight shortages or price increases in certain regions. The virus is not known to pose a health risk to humans, and all eggs produced before the plant's closure remain safe to consume. Officials are working to contain the outbreak and prevent further spread of the virus. Poultry and egg producers are implementing strict biosecurity measures, including isolation of infected flocks and increased surveillance. Consumers are advised to practice safe handling and cooking of poultry products, including thoroughly washing hands, cooking poultry to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and avoiding contact with sick or dead birds. Stay tuned for updates on the situation as the outbreak continues to unfold.
**Avian Flu Confirmed in Antarctic Penguins and Other Wildlife** **South Georgia, December 23, 2023** The first known cases of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in the Antarctic region were detected among brown skua on Bird Island off South Georgia in October 2023. Two months later, hundreds of elephant seals on the island tested positive for avian flu. According to experts, the arrival of the virus is believed to be the result of natural pathways. Bird flu has now been confirmed in 10 penguins on South Georgia, a renowned wildlife sanctuary. Avian influenza has also infected other seabirds and mammals, including the elephant seals. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) operates two research stations in South Georgia, including the one at Bird Island where the bird flu cases were confirmed. The BAS is closely monitoring the situation and taking measures to prevent further spread of the disease. HPAI continues to affect the wildlife on the sub-antarctic islands of South Georgia. The latest results from samples taken from the islands indicate that the virus is still circulating among the bird and mammal populations.
