influenza to include all of Lebanon
County and an additional portion of
Berks County north of Interstate
Route 78 east to Route 61.
Deputy State Agriculturre
Secretary J. Luther Snyder said
the expansion would “provide a
buffer zone with natural barriers
around all known flocks infected
with lethal avian influenza.” The
quarantine expansion had been
considered after one flock was

Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland and Virginia.
Both federal and state Depart
ments of Agriculture regulations
prohibit the movement of any live
pansion,” Snyder explained. “We
want to insure that a buffer zone is
in place around infected flocks, but
at the same time, we do not plan to
take actions which would un
necessarily restrict movement of
poultry and birds in areas not now
affected by the virus.

is being offered as an incentive to
those who may have knowledge of
possible violations.
“We are very concerned about
Lebanon and Berks Counties follow
mountain ridges, which form a
natural barrier to spread of the
disease,” Snyder, said. “The
terrain of the area is such that any
further expansion of the state
quarantine to regulate intrastate
movement of birds could not be
justified.”
