BARRON COUNTY, WI (AP)-- A seventh case of the deadly bird flu virus has been detected in Wisconsin.
The latest case as reported Tuesday by the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is in a 108,000 turkey flock in Barron County. That is the third reported case in Barron County.
All seven cases have been reported over a 15-day period beginning on April 13. About 1.3 million birds are affected.
There are two outbreaks in Jefferson County, and one each in Chippewa and Juneau counties.
The virus is lethal to birds, but is not expected to be a risk to people or the food supply.
A ban on poultry movement to shows, exhibitions and swap meets in the four affected counties remains in effect.
