  "summary": "Brazil is actively addressing a case of Newcastle disease detected at a poultry farm in Nova Itaberaba, Santa Catarina state. The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is coordinating with markets that purchase Brazilian poultry meat and related products. The detection, made during routine surveillance from September 21 to October 14, did not affect the birds' health, and no risk to human health from consuming poultry products has been identified. The affected farm has been placed under quarantine, with the movement of birds suspended, and a restricted zone established for epidemiological monitoring. The meat lobby group ABPA commends Brazil's swift and coordinated response, while Mexico remains the only country to suspend imports of poultry and poultry products from Brazil.",
