'Presumptive' bird flu detected in Delaware poultry flock sparks heightened vigilance in Maryland
‘Presumptive’ bird flu detected in Delaware poultry flock sparks heightened vigilance in Maryland

The testing of a commercial flock of broiler chickens in Delaware showed the first “presumptive” case of H5 bird flu in the state. Because of the highly contagious nature of the virus, there are concerns throughout the multibillion-dollar poultry industry, including in Maryland.
The testing was conducted on a flock at a Kent County, Delaware, farm. The results were reported Friday morning, a week after a presumptive positive result for the highly contagious bird flu was found in wild Snow Geese near the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Milton, Delaware.
