Ten bird flocks in Indiana tested positive for avian influenza, though the virus confirmed in these birds is a different strain than the one that decimated the US poultry industry last year, wiping out some 48 million turkeys and chickens.
USDA announced last week the presence of a highly pathogenic H7N8 virus was found in a commercial turkey flock in Dubois County, IN. Nine other flocks in southwestern Indiana were later found to contain the presence of the virus.
