Avian Influenza Causes Large-Scale Losses
The Australian authorities have announced the commencement of vaccination for bird species affected by the contagious H5 avian influenza strain, following the detection of the first case on the mainland in June and a mass mortality of wild birds. The measures include vaccinating domestic birds, although vaccinating wild birds is challenging due to the need to administer two doses, with priority given to household birds. An increase in mass die-offs is expected, involving waterfowl, coastal, marine birds, and raptors, with confirmed cases reaching 231. No infections have been recorded in the poultry or agricultural production sectors.
