Abstract

Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus was detected in breeding turkeys on 2 farms in Valparaiso, Chile. Infection was associated with measurable declines in egg production and shell quality. Although the source of infection is not yet known, the outbreak was controlled, and the virus was eliminated from the birds.

Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus detection rates (%) in affected turkey flocks from farms A and B during August 14–October 20, 2009, Valparaiso, Chile. Tracheal and cloacal swabs were analyzed by real-time reverse transcription–PCR to detect matrix and N1 genes. In each sampling date, detection rates appear in numbers, and sampled flocks are indicated by letters and numbers.
