    • Abstract:
      The US Department of Agriculture has implemented a ban on the import of certain poultry products from Victoria, Australia due to an outbreak of avian flu. The restrictions apply to birds and eggs originating from or transiting through Victoria, but do not include other Australian states. The H7N3 bird flu strain was detected on a farm in Terang, which is connected to another farm in Meredith where 400,000 chickens were culled. This outbreak adds to global concerns about avian influenza, particularly the H5N1 strain. [Extracted from the article]
