New cases of Newcastle disease have been confirmed in Poland, with the World Organisation for Animal Health reporting infections in two more poultry flocks.
One outbreak occurred in Mniski, Poland, where a commercial broiler flock of 42,824 birds experienced a spike in mortality, resulting in 1,936 deaths. A similar situation was reported in Kaczenice, Poland, where 32,064 domestic hens were affected and 1,283 birds died.
Authorities have implemented a range of containment measures to limit the spread of the virus. These include culling infected flocks, disinfecting affected areas, enforcing movement restrictions, conducting surveillance within designated zones, and ensuring proper disposal of carcasses, byproducts, and waste materials.
Beyond Poland, several other countries—including Germany, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Spain, Peru, and Israel—have ongoing reports of Newcastle disease. Meanwhile, WOAH has categorized the situation as stable in Timor-Leste, Singapore, Indonesia, and Morocco.
Poland has also been contending with continued cases of avian influenza since the disease first appeared there in September 2024, adding further strain to its poultry sector.
