The Paraguayan General Directorate of Livestock Services (Senacsa) issued a health alert over the weekend due to a case of avian influenza in the Department of Colonia, Uruguay.

In this regard, “the Paraguayan veterinary institution requested officials from the Regional Health Coordination offices, heads of Zonal Units, Points of Entry, producers, and the general public to remain on high alert to report any sightings of sick or dead birds.”

Given the alert in the neighboring country, Senacsa warned that birds showing signs of illness or that have died should not be handled as a protective measure and to avoid the risk of contagion.

The agency emphasized that rapid case reporting will allow for appropriate health measures to be taken to prevent the spread of the disease in Paraguay.

Venezuelan health authorities announced that they will require proof of yellow fever vaccination for travelers to the states of Aragua, Lara, Portuguesa, and Barinas, given the upcoming Easter holiday and the 36 confirmed cases in the country.

Those wishing to visit these states will need to carry proof of yellow fever vaccination, obtained at least 10 days prior to travel, as confirmed by Vice President for Health, Isabel Iturria.

On the other hand, they recommend that people visiting these western regions use insect repellent and wear long-sleeved clothing, especially in wooded areas, to reduce the risk of bites.

This measure from the Ministry of Health responds to a “health alert” confirmed by the authorities, who have detected 36 cases of the disease since June 2025. “The outbreak is concentrated mainly in 22 parishes in the aforementioned states, with Barinas being the region with the highest rate of infection.” Recently, the ministry launched a nationwide vaccination campaign to protect the population.
