Dr Arun Kumar, deputy director of the animal husbandry and veterinary services department, stated, “Bird fever has been confirmed in Alapuzha district, Kerala, approximately 400 km from Mangaluru. This is the second reported case in this district. While no cases have been reported in Dakshina Kannada so far, we remain vigilant and will establish check posts at three strategic points.”
