Avian alarm in Villa Pamphili, in Rome, so much so that a part of the park will be closed for ten days: this is what the municipal administration has ordered following a request from the Prevention Department of the Rome ASL 3. The affected area is the one in which find the Giglio lake.
The measure was adopted after the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Rome on November 26 had communicated a positivity for avian flu in the poultry species present in that pond and the sudden death of a swan triggered the alert.
The subsequent communication of 28 November from the Reference Center for avian influenza, the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of the Venezie, confirmed the positivity for the highly pathogenic H5N1 subtype avian influenza virus.

The partial closure of the Park - declared the Councilor for the Environment Sabrina Alfonsi - was arranged as a precaution for a period of 10 days or in any case for the time necessary to carry out the necessary checks to exclude any further spread of the virus towards the external by visitors and allow the proper performance of further interventions deemed necessary. It should be noted that the biological risk is limited to the sole possibility of mechanically transmitting the virus, hence the reasons for the measure adopted today, while there is no risk for the consumption of poultry meat and eggs.
The first outbreak of avian flu in Rome dates back to early November and was found in Ostia Antica. Even then, the order issued by the President of the Lazio Region to adopt extraordinary measures was immediate, such as the establishment of a protection area with a radius of 3 km from the farm where the outbreak was found and a surveillance area with a radius of 10 km.
