Epidemiological comments

Since the end of March 2011, and with laboratory confirmation by the Disease Investigation Center in Maros, the Gorontalo province is infected with HPAI. Since then, the disease has spread in 4 districts of Gorontalo province: Gorontalo, Gorontalo municipality, Boalemo and Bone Bolango.
Stamping out is the main control measure for HPAI in the area. Movement control of poultry has been done, especially using check points.

Note by the OIE Animal Health Information Department: Even though HPAI has been declared endemic in the country by Indonesia in September 2006, this report is published because it constitutes a reoccurrence of the disease in Gorontalo province since June 2007.
