A highly contagious viral disease has been detected at a commercial poultry farm in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The Brazilian government assures the public that the consumption of poultry remains safe despite the outbreak. This incident follows a previous case in 2024, which led China to suspend its imports of chicken from the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Authorities are currently investigating the extent of the outbreak in Santa Catarina and implementing biosecurity measures to prevent further spread. The detection raises concerns about potential disruptions to the poultry trade and the impact on regional economies. Further testing and monitoring are underway to contain the virus and protect both poultry populations and public health.
