The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza in two premises in the City of Chilliwack, British Columbia, and one premises in the City of Abbotsford, British Columbia, all in commercial poultry.
The CFIA has advised the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) of the confirmed presence of HPAI in Canada. This serves as a strong reminder that HPAI is spreading across the globe, and that anyone with birds must practice enhanced biosecurity procedures.
