Brazil Confirms Bird Flu Case at Zoo
- In early June 2025, authorities in Brasilia announced the detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza at a local zoo following the discovery of deceased birds the previous week.
- The avian flu outbreak began in mid-May 2025 on a farm in Rio Grande do Sul and has since spread to several states, including wild and domesticated birds.
- Authorities closed the Brasilia zoo from May 28 through June 12 pending the detection of new cases, while Brazil halted poultry exports to over 20 nations amid the bird flu outbreak.
- Brazil reported five recent bird flu cases and 50 outbreaks in wild birds; the Agriculture Secretariat stressed industrial poultry farming shows no disease records.
- The outbreak led to international import bans like Japan's suspension of poultry purchases, though Brazil disputes these actions as inconsistent with health protocols.
