About 15 of the dead harbour seals have tested positive for the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian flu, with a first case detected in a grey seal last week, said Stéphane Lair, a professor of veterinary medicine at Université de Montréal. https://www.vicnews.com/news/highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza-believed-to-be-killing-seals-in-quebec/ Edited September 10, 20224 yr by niman Report
