Descripción

A suspected case of H5N1 bird flu has been detected in a sick seabird near Esperance, Western Australia, marking the potential first mainland arrival of this deadly strain that has killed millions of birds and mammals globally. The virus has already killed 13,000 seals on Heard Island, 4,000 kilometres south of Australia, raising concerns about potential extinction-level impacts on wildlife and significant threats to Australia's poultry industry. Federal Agriculture Minister Julie Collins is expected to confirm the test results in a press conference. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
