Avian influenza reaches mainland Antarctica


Recommended Posts

According to new reports from Reuters, avian influenza has now been confirmed in samples from dead skuas found near the Antarctic base Primavera. Learn more here

In October 2023, the British Antarctic Survey detected highly pathogenic avian influenza during sampling of sick and dead brown skuas on Bird Island, in the South Atlantic Ocean north of mainland Antarctica. 

This week, HPAI was detected in Wandering Albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) on the subantarctic islands of South Georgia. Learn more about this outbreak here
