This is the first time that H5N3 type highly pathogenic AI has been confirmed in Korea.
The Central Disease Control Headquarters explained that H5N3 type AI is believed to have been created by recombining H5 type highly pathogenic AI virus and N3 type AI virus derived from wild birds that are prevalent worldwide.
In order to thoroughly observe quarantine rules, such as disinfection of entry and exit for poultry farm workers, and to minimize damage, poultry farm workers asked the quarantine authorities to report only mild symptoms in poultry.
