Epidemiology
Source of event or origin of infection: unknown or inconclusive
Epidemiological comments:
On 16 Nov 2021, the local veterinary service (Livestock Hygiene
Service Centre; LHSC) in Hyogo Prefecture received a notification from
a domestic laying hen farm of an increase in the number of dead birds.
The samples were collected from dead birds by the LHSC and tested
positive for influenza A virus by antigen-capture kits. On 17 Nov
2021, the LHSC conducted RT-PCR and RRT-PCR tests and confirmed that
the subtype was H5. On 18 Nov 2021, the National Institute of Animal
Health (NIAH) conducted the sequencing test and confirmed that the
subtype of the virus was H5N1 and causative virus was determined as
high pathogenicity avian influenza. Stamping-out policy was applied to
the affected farm. Other control measures (including disinfection)
have been implemented. Movement and shipment restrictions are imposed
on the farms within a radius of 3 km and 3-10 km of the affected farm
respectively. Update for Case1 (Izumi-City1); on 16 Nov 2021 other
control measures (including disinfection) were completed.

Control measures at event level
Domestic control measures applied: ante and post-mortem inspections,
disinfection, movement control inside the country, official disposal
of carcasses, by-products and waste, quarantine, stamping out,
screening, traceability
Wild control measures applied: screening
