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.
