The Animal Health and Food Safety Agency (SENASICA) of Mexico has announced that the recent outbreak of HPAI is now under control with twenty affected units soon to be repopulated following decontamination.
It is unclear whether vaccines were used in conjunction with traditional depopulation, quarantine and surveillance as press reports indicated use of “advanced vaccines”. Previously in the 1990s Mexico deployed homologous oil-emulsion vaccines extensively and over long duration as an adjunct to depopulation of affected broiler egg production and parent flocks.
