niman Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Cases of bird flu have been confirmed in skunks in the Vegreville-Wainwright-Lloydminster area in east-central Alberta, according to the province's wildlife disease specialist. "[Avian influenza] was brought into the province in early April in migrating waterfowl, primarily the geese. As a number of geese died, we started getting reports about a number of dead skunks," Dr. Margo Pybus told CTV News Edmonton. The skunks tested negative for rabies and positive for bird flu. https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/bird-flu-found-in-alberta-skunks-for-first-time-experts-1.5913063 Edited September 11, 2022 by niman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
