Highly pathogenic avian influenza in Ontario, March 13, 2024

Canadian Food Inspection Agency

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza in Lambton County, Ontario, 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.
