- Diagnostic tests: ophthalmic or serology on SD or SC
- Samples from resp tract and pharynx (or whole caracass)
- Diseased: killed, slaughter is prohibited
- SD: slaughter is prohibited
- SC: may be slaughtered in the presence of OV, if
ophthalmic test is negative within 14 days - Disposal of carcasses (skin and hair)
- Strict disinfection
- Lifting restrictions: strict disinfection, no Equidae,
immunodiagnostic tests excluding infection
Lifting restrictions in the case of European foulbrood

out- without disinfection - If colonies suspect of contam: without disinfection after
observation
Myxomatosis
- diseased

- infected flocks
⚫ Diseased animal typical clinical signs
⚫ Suspected of being diseased: non-typical clinical signs

⚫ Infected flock: there are diseased or suspected of being diseased animals in the flock
Suspected of being contaminated animals: glanders
– direct or indirect contact within 180 days with D or SD equidae
– no clinical signs but repeated immunodiagnostic test is inconclusive
(Vs eia; first same(kept with, 90d) but then no signs pos once, or two inconclusive 21d interval)

Definition of HPAI
An infection of poultry or other captive birds caused by:
- avian influenza viruses of the subtypes H5 or H7 with genome sequences codifying for multiple basic amino acids at the cleavage site of the haemagglutinin molecule similar to that observed for other HPAI viruses, indicating that the haemagglutinin molecule can be cleaved by a host ubiquitous protease;
- OR avian influenza viruses with an intravenous pathogenicity index in six-week old chickens greater than 1.2;
Measures in the protection zone of ASF
Protection zone (restricted zone I.): a radius of at least 3 km.
Lifting restrictions: serological survey. Min 15 days
