The article from Newsday discusses the outbreak of bird flu at a duck farm in Long Island, New York, which has led to the culling of over 10,000 ducks to prevent the spread of the virus. This incident marks the first case of bird flu in a commercial poultry operation in the region since 2002. The virus, identified as the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), was confirmed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The farm, Crescent Duck Farm in Aquebogue, has been placed under quarantine, and the state is monitoring other farms within a 10-mile radius for signs of the disease. The article also touches on the economic impact on the farm, the potential effects on local poultry prices, and the measures being taken to control the spread, including enhanced biosecurity protocols. Additionally, it highlights the concern over the virus's potential to mutate and affect humans, although no human cases have been linked to this outbreak.
