[TD]Outbreak 8 (Gifu, Yamagata-shi) ? follow up information of the previous reports On 8 February 2017, the movement restriction was lifted since 21 days had passed without any new outbreaks after control measures including stamping out had been completed. Outbreak 9 (Miyazaki, Kijo-cho) ? follow up information of the previous reports On 10 February 2017 shipment restrictions were lifted as there were not any positive results of the tests conducted after control measures including stamping out had been completed. Outbreak 10 (Saga, Kouhoku-machi) ? this report On 4 February 2017, the local veterinary service in Saga Prefecture received a notification from a domestic broiler breeders farm on an increase in the number of dead birds (40 birds on the same day). The samples from dead birds and live birds were confirmed to be influenza A virus positive by antigen-capture kits and to be subtype H5 by RT-PCR and RRT-PCR in Saga Livestock Hygiene Service Centre. Destruction of all the susceptible birds in the affected farm has been implemented. Movement and shipment restrictions are imposed on the farms within a radius of 3km and 3-10 km of the affected farm, respectively. On 6 February 2017, control measures including disinfection of the affected premises were completed and N-type was identified as N6 by NIAH.[/TD]
