Australia detects first avian flu in native mammals
Australia has confirmed its first case of H5N1 bird flu virus in a local mammal, specifically a long-nosed seal found dead in South Australia. It was discovered deceased without any wounds, and it is believed that its death is unrelated to another disease or mass die-off, indicating the virus's spread within the natural environment. Although the virus has not yet been transmitted to the poultry or agricultural sector, the increase in cases of death among seabirds, along with mammal infections, suggests that the spread of the disease is intensifying. This poses a significant threat to the country’s ecosystem.
