INDIANAPOLIS — Avian influenza has been detected in a fourth commercial poultry flock in southern Indiana, state officials said Saturday.<\/p>\n
Laboratory testing of a second commercial flock of turkeys in Greene County has come back as presumptively positive for the virus, the Indiana State Board of Animal Health said. The samples are being verified at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Iowa.<\/p>\n
Another possible case was found about 5 miles (8 kilometers) away in Greene County earlier in the week. Two previous cases were found in adjacent Dubois County.<\/p>\n
