Background
Avian Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection that mainly affects domesticated birds. On June 21, 2018, the Kwahu-West Municipal Veterinary Office was notified of sudden deaths of birds on a poultry farm. Seven days later, a second farm sited 100 meters from the index case-farm also recorded bird deaths. We investigated to confirm the causative agent, identify its source, and implement control measures.
