March 11, 20224 yr Author comment_54545 Over the last few months, HPAI has been detected in Canada and in the United States, along all North American flyways. In early March, the Missouri Department of Agriculture announced the detection of HPAI in a commercial flock in Stoddard County, and additional detections have spread across the state. A national multi-agency response to increase surveillance in wild birds is underway. MDC has contacted wildlife rehabilitators, falconer groups, and other key stakeholders to assist with surveillance. MDC has confirmed that wild birds have tested positive for HPAI in several Missouri counties. (Refer to map and table below for current data.)
