Millions of migratory birds are arriving on Australian shores this spring. Any one of them could bring the new, deadly strain known as H5N1. Extra government funding will help us prepare and respond.
Migratory birds could bring the lethal bird flu variant that is assailing the rest of the world’s birds.
A deadly strain of bird flu is circulating in animals. So far the virus has been detected in seabirds on islands near Antarctica. What does this mean for wildlife, tourism and research?
La grippe aviaire connaît une épidémie d’un niveau inédit, et des victimes humaines ont été confirmées. Quand une maladie animale peut-elle frapper notre espèce ? Quels sont les risques ?
Virus yang menyebabkan flu burung adalah spesies yang sama yang menyebabkan influenza pada manusia musiman, flu babi, flu kuda, dan flu anjing, walaupun subtipe dan strain yang berbeda terlibat.
While a small proportion of people have become ill while in contact with infected birds, there is no evidence it has spread from human to human.
Victoria currently has three avian influenza outbreaks across six farms. They are being treated as an emergency. Here’s how authorities are responding.
