新西兰首次确诊H5N1高致病性禽流感 政府呼吁公众切勿接触病死野鸟

新西兰华人每日资讯网 2026年7月15日讯 新西兰生物安全部长Andrew Hoggard今日宣布，新西兰首次确认发现H5N1高致病性禽流感（H5 bird flu）病例。一只在惠灵顿Petone海滩发现的褐贼鸥（Brown Skua）经检测确认感染H5N1禽流感病毒，这是该病毒首次在新西兰境内被检出。

首次发现H5N1病毒

此次确诊的病毒属于目前全球广泛传播的H5N1高致病性禽流感（2.3.4.4b分支）。

政府表示，目前仅发现一宗个案：

• 未发现野生鸟类大规模死亡情况；
• 没有证据显示病毒已在新西兰野鸟之间传播；
• 家禽养殖场尚未发现任何感染病例。

MPI（初级产业部）已持续监测Petone海滩及周边区域，目前未发现其他异常情况。

对公众健康风险较低

卫生部门表示，H5N1禽流感对普通公众构成的健康风险较低。

只有在长时间、近距离接触大量患病禽鸟的情况下，人类才有极低机会感染病毒。

政府强调：

• 鸡蛋可以安全食用；
• 鸡肉及其他禽类产品仍然安全；
• 市场上的家禽产品不会受到影响。

政府启动持续监测

目前，新西兰多个政府部门已联合展开应对工作，包括：

• 初级产业部（MPI）
• 环境保护部（DOC）
• 卫生部（Ministry of Health）
• Health New Zealand

同时持续与：

• 家禽产业
• 兽医机构
• 野生动物保护组织
• 地方政府

共同进行监测及风险管理。

MPI表示，目前正持续进行：

• 野生鸟类监测；
• 接获公众报告后的病毒检测；
• 数日一次的重点监测工作。

家禽业已提前做好准备

政府表示，新西兰早已为H5禽流感做好准备。

主要措施包括：

• 与家禽行业共同制定生物安全计划；
• 建立禽流感应急机制；
• 保障鸡蛋及鸡肉供应稳定。

2025年9月，新西兰政府与家禽行业正式成立Government Industry Agreement（GIA）Poultry Council，共同负责禽流感防控准备工作，以降低疫情对养殖业及食品供应链的影响。

珍稀鸟类开始接种疫苗

环境保护部（DOC）已启动珍稀鸟类疫苗计划。

首批约300只核心繁殖个体将接受疫苗接种，包括：

• 鸮鹦鹉（Kākāpō）
• 南秧鸡（Takahē）
• Shore Plover
• 黑长脚鹬（Kakī）
• 橙额长尾鹦鹉（Orange-fronted Parakeet）

政府希望尽可能降低疫情对新西兰珍稀本土鸟类造成的威胁。

公众应如何配合？

政府呼吁民众保持警觉，但无需恐慌。

如发现：

• 三只或以上野鸟集体生病；
• 三只或以上野鸟集体死亡；

请立即拨打MPI外来病虫害热线：

0800 80 99 66

同时请注意：

• 不要触摸病鸟或死鸟；
• 不要自行移动鸟类尸体；
• 尽可能提供准确地点（GPS位置）；
• 如安全情况下，可拍摄照片或视频供调查使用。

澳大利亚已有类似情况

政府指出，澳大利亚近期也陆续发现少量沿海野鸟感染H5N1病毒，但尚未出现大规模野鸟死亡事件。

新西兰未来也可能出现类似零星病例，因此政府将持续加强监测，确保疫情不会扩散至家禽养殖业及野生动物群体。

New Zealanders are being asked to be alert after a single ocean-going seabird, a brown skua, returned a confirmed positive test for H5 bird flu today after it was found on Petone beach in Wellington, says Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard.
H5 bird flu is a low health risk to the public as it rarely affects humans unless there is direct, close, and prolonged contact with large numbers of sick birds. Eggs and poultry remain safe to eat.   
The detected case is the concerning H5 bird flu strain (H5N1 avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4b) that has been circulating globally and is the first detection in New Zealand.  
“This is a coastal detection in an individual ocean-going seabird and there is no evidence of any mass mortality in wildlife or transmission between wild birds in New Zealand. There has been no detection in poultry.” 
“The situation is being closely monitored, but at this stage there is no evidence of any illness beyond this seabird. We’ve had people out on Petone beach checking and found no other issues. We will continue to monitor the beach and surrounding areas. 
“We ask the community to be alert and follow advice about reporting sick or dead birds. It is vital that people do not touch or handle unwell birds.
“The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) will continue its wider surveillance and work closely with industry, veterinarians, and wildlife carers.”
New Zealand is well prepared to respond to H5 bird flu and will work to protect poultry production and reduce impacts on wildlife and communities. 
“MPI, the Department of Conservation, the Ministry of Health, and Health New Zealand have been working together with industry and local councils to get ready. Our response is designed to manage the risks of H5 bird flu, to protect poultry production, and reduce impacts on wildlife and communities.”
•    MPI has been working with the poultry industry to develop biosecurity and resilience plans, to create industry preparedness for when H5 bird flu arrives. 
•    In September 2025, a Government Industry Agreement (GIA) formally established the Poultry Council to oversee the delivery of a joint readiness work programme between MPI and industry. This programme aims to minimise impacts on the poultry sector and safeguard New Zealand’s chicken and egg supply.
•    At present, MPI is testing birds every few days through reports and targeted wildlife surveillance.
“While there are no detections in poultry, producers are reminded that on-farm biosecurity practices are crucial to protect the health of their flocks.  Eggs and poultry meat remain safe to eat.” 
“Australia has recently experienced finds of single birds with H5 bird flu in coastal areas with no reports of mass mortalities. We may see a similar pattern here and we will remain vigilant.
“We are continuing to act early and prepare carefully, while asking the community to remain watchful and report three or more sick or dead birds in a group to the MPI pest and disease hotline.” 
DOC has started a vaccination programme for 300 core breeding birds from five of our most endangered birds – kākāpō, takahē, tchūriwat’/tūturuatu/shore plover, kakī/black stilt and kākāriki karaka/orange-fronted parakeet.
What people can do
If you see three or more sick or dead wild birds in a group, report it immediately to the exotic pest and disease hotline on 0800 80 99 66 from anywhere in New Zealand. 
Don’t handle or move the birds. Go to www.mpi.govt.nz/bird-flu to find out more.
Provide as much detail as you can, including:
•    common name or species of sick or dead bird if known
•    how many are sick or freshly dead, and the total number of birds present
•    a GPS reading or other precise location information
•    photographs and videos of sick and dead birds
•    how many are sick or freshly dead, and the total number of birds present.
