First mammal infection with avian flu
South Australian authorities confirmed the first case of a mammal infected with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. A deceased seal infected with the virus was found in the coastal town of Port Broughton, approximately 310 kilometers south of Adelaide. This incident follows a mass die-off of seabirds in the region caused by the virus, which initially spread among migratory birds before extending to local species, indicating a worsening outbreak in the area.
