Infectious And Fatal Bird Flu Outbreak In South Carolina – More Than 32,000 Turkeys Killed
As humans around the world scramble to fight a pandemic caused by a new virus, a separate infection has emerged that could wreak havoc on another population of creatures.
The US Department of Agriculture this week confirmed the presence of an infectious and fatal strain of avian influenza (H7N3) in a commercial turkey flock in Chesterfield County, South Carolina.
“State officials quarantined the affected premises, and birds on the property were depopulated to prevent the spread of the disease,†the department said in a statement, indicating the birds were killed en masse.
Meanwhile, more than 32,000 turkeys have been euthanized after the discovery of the deadly virus.
