Epidemiological comments |
On 7 February 2014, owners of duck flocks reported that their ducks were sick and died in the village. District and provincial veterinarians went there for examination and found that two duck flocks of two owners were sick and died, with clinical signs as leg weakness, white diarrhea, twisted necks, blank eye, motionless and seizures. They then took 5 samples from each duck flock (10 samples) and sent them to the National Veterinary Research Institute (NaVRI) for diagnostic testing. |
